Answer:

The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the yard

The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width

Plug in the expressions and perimeter:

20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)

Solve for x:

20 = 2x + 2x - 4

20 = 4x - 4

24 = 4x

6 = x

So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width

x - 2

6 - 2

= 4

So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Westkost [7]

80 student tickets and 30 adult tickets must be sold to reach a $700 raise.

Since the drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses, and each student ticket sells for $ 5 and each adult ticket sells for $ 10, and the auditorium can hold a maximum of 110 people and the drama club must make a minimum of $ 700 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs, to determine one possible solution the following calculation must be performed:

  • 110 x 5 + 0 x 10 = 550
  • (700 - 550) / (10 - 5) = 150/5 = 30
  • 80 x 5 + 30 x 10 = 400 + 300 = 700

Therefore, 80 student tickets and 30 adult tickets must be sold to reach a $700 raise.

This is equivalent to:

(2.2533/2.59)(10^8/10^4)

(0.87)(10^4) which is:

0.87X10^4  which is equal to:  

0.87X10000 which is equal to:

8.7X1000  and since 1000=10^3 we can say:

8.7X10^3
