<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>
l = 2w - 3
2l + 2w = 42
Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.
2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42
Distributive property.
4w - 6 + 2w = 42
Combine like terms.
6w - 6 = 42
Add 6 to both sides.
6w = 48
Divide both sides by 6.
w = 8
Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.
l = 2(8) - 3
l = 16 - 3
l = 13
The answer is 4440. You can determine this by using your rules of divisibility. We know that is must end in a 0 or 5 to be divisible by 5 and that the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3 in order to divide by 3. One or two 4's together are not divisible by 3. Three 4's are, but it must end in 0 to be divisible by 5 as well.
Answer:
224 pages total
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many total pages, you have to multiply the number of sections by the number of pages in each section. 14 sections times 16 pages per section equals a total of 224 total pages.
