Answer:

Length = 22 feet Width= 8.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 61

Let Width= x

Length= 2x+5

Perimeter= 2l + 2w

61= 2(2x+5) + 2x

61 = 2(2x+5+x)

61/2 = 3x+5

30.5 -5 = 3x

25.5 = 3x

25.5/3 =x

x= 8.5

Hence, width = 8.5 feet

Then, the length = 2x+5 = 2(8.5) +5 = 22 feet

Hope this helps!

A jeweler wants to combine a 60% gold alloy with a 20% gold alloy to make 1000 grams of 50% gold alloy. How many grams of 60% al

kramer

Answer:

750 grams of 60% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy

Equating the amounts of gold:

0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)

Since there must be 1000 grams total:

x+y = 1000

Writing the 2 resulting equations together:

0.6x + 0.2y = 500

x + y = 1000

Multiply the first equation by 5:

3x + y = 2500

x + y = 1000

Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:

2x = 1500

x = 750

Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy
