Answer:

Part a) The length of the mat is 12\ ft

Part b) The area of the mat is 72\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length

Let

L-----> the length of the rectangle

W---> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is

P=2(L+W)

P=36\ ft

so

36=2(L+W)

18=(L+W) ----> equation A

L=2W -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

18=(2W+W)

solve for W

18=3W

W=18/3=6\ ft

Find the value of L

L=2(6)=12\ ft

step 2

Find the area

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=LW

substitute the values

A=(12)(6)=72\ ft^{2}

Answer:

1).  (x - 4 = 13)

2).  (r + 17 = 51)

3). (7/9x =28)

4). (2/3x = 2)

5). { 3(x-2) = -9 }

6). (x -1.75 = 8.85)

7). Natalie buys organic almonds priced at $77 from the grocery store. How much did

she pay the cashier, if she received $23 in change?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add 4 on both sides and it will be x=17

2. subtract 17 on both sides and it will be x= 34

3. multiply 9/7 on both sides and it will be x= 257/7 then you divide 257 by 7 then the final answer will be x= 36

4. multiply 3/2 on both sides and it will be x=6/2 then you divide 6 from 2 and the finial answer will be x= 3

5. you will distribute 3 into x and 2 and you will be 3x-6=-9 then you will add 6 on both sides so you will get 3x=3 and then divide 3 on both side so you will get x=1

6. add 1.75 on both sides so x= 10.6

7. the equation will be 23 +x = 77 so first you will subtract 23 on both sides and x will equal 54 so Natalie paid $54

Jonah baked a berry pie. The recipe called for 9 ounces of blackberries, 10 ounces of raspberries, and 12 ounces of strawberries
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought 1, 12 ounce container for each of the set of berries. The blackberries needed 9 but he had 12 so you take the 9 away from the 12 and you are left with 3 you do the same with the raspberries and you are left with 2 then the strawberries are already at 12 ounces so you add up the 3 and the 2 and you get 5.
