Answer:

length=4

width=30

Step-by-step explanation:

length=x

width=8x-2

(8x-2)*2+2x=68

16x-4+2x=68

18x=72

x=4 (Length)

4*8=32, 32-2=30(width)

Answer:

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I am glad I can help you with this.

Step one

define the equations

the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter=2*length+2*width

Let

Perimeter (P)

length(L)

Width(W)

P=2L+2W

68=2L+2W,equation (1)

The width of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 8 times the length, in other words, you can take the width and add 2 cm to find 8 times the length,in mathematical terms it is

W+2=8L, isolating W

W=8L-2,equation (2)

Step two

use equation (1) and equation (2) to find L and W

replace W from equation (2) into equation (1)

68=2L+2(8L-2)

68=2L+16L-4

68=18L-4

isolating L

68+4=18L

72/18=L

L=4 cm

replace the value of L in equation (2)

W=8L-2

W=8(4 )-2

W=32-2

W=30 cm

Hence,

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Have a good day.

After picking apples at the orchard, you made these observations: Brad picked twice as many apples as you did, Andy picked 20 fe
frozen [14]

Answer:

Brad picked 130 apples. Andy picked 45 apples. Krystal picked 115 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2Y                A = Y - 20            K = Y + 50        B + A + K + Y = 355

130 = 2(65)        45 = 65 - 20        115 = 65 + 50     130 + 45 = 115 + 65 = 355

130 = 130           45 = 45                115 = 115

How to solve a system of three equations with substitution
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Usually there are the variables x y z but it doesn't matter what they are.

Step-by-step explanation:

First choose your first variable to solve. Find x by putting all the numbers and variables to one side.

once you found x substitute the answer for x in all the equations. Next find y and substitute your answer in all the equations again.

Once you have solved 2 variables then you are able to solve z.
