Answer:

  $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Your two equations are ...

  • 4s +6t = 70
  • 2s +4t = 42

Double the second equation and subtract the first:

  2(2s +4t) -(4s +6t) = 2(42) -(70)

  2t = 14 . . . . . simplify

  t = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 2

The cost of each tie is $7.

The number of bags of mulch you need to cover a planting area varies jointly with the area to be mulched (a) in sq ft and the de
Lena [83]

Answer:

  22 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

When z "varies jointly" with x and y, it can be described by the formula

   z = kxy

Here, we have bags of mulch (n) varying jointly with area (a) and depth (d), both in feet. The given information can let us find the value of k.

  n = kad

  10 = k·(120)(1/4)

  10/30 = k = 1/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now, we can fill in the other values of interest.

  n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9

  n = 22 2/9

You need 22 2/9 bags of mulch to cover 200 ft² to a depth of 4 inches.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This problem requires the formula be written with both area and depth expressed in feet, yet it gives depth in inches. The formula can also be written using depth in inches. In that case, k = 1/36.

A rectangular room is 3 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 22 meters. Find the dimension of the room. The lengt
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Width = 4 m

Length = 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

perimeter of a rectangle = 22m

L = 3 + W

perimeter = 2L + 2W

perimeter = 2 (3 + W) + 2W

22 = 6 + 2W + 2W

22 - 6 = 4W

W = 16 / 4

W = 4 m

L = 3 + W

L = 3 + 4

L = 7 m

check:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

22 = 2(7) + 2(4)

22 = 14 + 8

22 = 22  ---- OK
