let L = length and let W = width.
Use the equations 2L + 2W = 2750
and L = 5W + 15
Then do the steps as follows -
1. Plug the equation for what L equals into the first equation
2(5W+15) + 2W = 2750
2. Then distribute the 2
10W + 30 + 2W = 2750
3. Then add like terms
12W + 30 = 2750
4. Then subtract 30 from both sides
12W = 2720
5. Divide by 12 on both sides
W = 226.67
6. Then plug that into the second equation
L = 5(226.67) + 15
L = 1148.35 should be the answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide number 1 by number 3, you will notice that number 3 will constantly repeat at the decimal part.
So, the answer is .
Answer:
8 lb of flounder at $2.50/lb
4 lb of shrimp at $5.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the pounds of shrimp
Let B be the pounds of flounder
Let C be the cost per pound of flounder
A + B = 12
A = 12 - B
BC = 20
A(2C) = 20
BC = A(2C)
BC = (12 - B)(2C)
BC = 24C - 2BC
3BC = 24C
3B = 24
B = 8 lb
A + 8 = 12
A = 4 lb
5 pieces. 4.65÷0.85=5. so u divide and ur answer is 5
