Answer:

-49/3 and -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by f and s (first and second).  Then f = s - 8.  Also, 2f = 3s + 9.  Solve this system for f and s:

Substituting s - 8 for f in the 2nd equation, above, yields

2(s - 8) = 3s + 9, or 2s - 16 = 3s + 9.  Then 3s = -25, and s = -25/3.  The first number is then f = s - 8, or f = -25/3 - 8, or f = -49/3.

jolli1 [7]
I believe the answer is C - 60 inches. 60 x 2 = 120, which is both lengths, and since he width is half the length, then 30 x 2 = 60. So 130 (length) + 60 (width) = 180. So 60 inches would be the maximum length for both sides.

Anvisha [2.4K]
The first thing you should do is calculate how many pounds of cheese a hamburger has
 1 hamburger = 1/4 pound of cheese.
 Then, you can make a rule of three to know how many pounds of cheese were sold:
 1 ---> 1/4
 310 ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((310) / (1)) * (1/4) = 77.5
 Answer
 they sell last saturday 77.5 pounds of cheese
