You first multiply 6 and 8 to see how many people are put in the vans without rented a van. This would equal 48. You then subtract 48 from 59 to see how many people still need to be in a van. This would leave you with 11 people. Then you divide 8 from 11 to get 1 3/8. This means you need 2 vans to fit everyone.
2y + 4 + 5y + 8=
7y + 4 + 8=
7y + 12=
-105
Multiply first, then subtract, then add.
Answer:
width = 9.36 ft
length = 21.36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.
To calculate the area would then be
x(x+12) = 200
x
x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft
We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are
width = 9.36 ft
length = 9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft
