The area of the given figure is equal to the area of a rectangle with sides 5 feets by 6 feets less the area of four square cut-outs of side 1 feet.
Area of the rectangle = 5 x 6 = 30 square feets.
Area of the four square cut-outs = 4(1 x 1) = 4 x 1 = 4 square feet
Area of the given figure = 30 - 4 = 26 square feet.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
i.e. 1/2 bh = 26
bh = 26 x 2 = 52
possible values of base and height = (1 and 52), (2 and 26), (4 and 13)
Assign variables to you unknowns.
c = $ cars
t = $ trucks
6c + 3t = 4800
8c + t = 4600
use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.
using elimination.. multiply second equation by -3 and add to the other to combine equations into one.
6c + 3t = 4800
-3(8c + t = 4600)
---------------------------
-18c + 0 = -9000
c = 9000/18
c = 500 $
use this in one of the equations to find the cost of a truck.
8(500) + t = 4600
4000 + t = 4600
t = 4600 - 4000
t = 600 $
question asks
2(500) + 3(600) =
1000 + 1800 = 2800 $
