It's simple multiplication
Given:
W(width) = (6L) - 9
L(length) = L
Equation:
2( [ 6L ] - 9) + 2 (L) = 150
= 12L - 18 + 2L = 150
= 12L + 2L = 150 + 18
=14L = 168
L = 168/14, so the length is 12. Let's check our work.
Width: 6(12) - 9 = 72 - 9 = 63
Length: 12
Since there are two lines of width and two lines of length:
2(12) + 2(63) = 24 + 126, which gives you a perimeter of 150 mm.
Hope this helped.
The first thing we are going to do for this case is to define the following variable:
x = number of trees.
We then have that the equation that represents the problem is given by:
y = 50 (x-1) + 20
Rewriting:
y = 50x - 50 + 20
y = 50x - 30
Substituting for y = 390 we have:
390 = 50x - 30
We clear x:
x = (390 + 30) / (50)
x = 8.4
nearest whole integer
x = 8
Answer:
will be planted along one block about 8 trees.
Well, 2.3•10^3 is the same as 2.3•1000. So move the decimal place three times to the right and you get a final answer of 2300.
