The answer to this one is W=-3/5 I think
Divide it by 2, since you can make it into a half.
Answer:
Width = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(P=2L+2W) = 72
L = 3W<- length is triple the width
(P = 2(3W) + 2W) = 72
P = 8W =72
W = 9
It would be 2.36686390533
Answer:
<em>Josh would need to purchase 20 gallons of gas for the cost to be the same at each car wash</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to model both car wash's costs. The Quik-Clean Car Wash charges $15 for a car wash plus $2.50 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. If x is the number of gallons of unleaded gasoline. the total charges of this store are:
C1=15+2.5*x
The Mighty Clean Car Wash charges $10 for a carwash plus $2.75 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. Following the same procedure, their costs are:
C2=10+2.75*x
Josh wants to know how many gallons of gas will make both businesses charge the same. Equating both equations:
15+2.5*x=10+2.75*x
Simplifying:
-0.25x=-5
Solving:
x=-5/(-0.25)=20
Josh would need to purchase 20 gallons of gas for the cost to be the same at each car wash
