Step-by-step explanation:Let number of 49 cents =A
Let number of 33 cents=B
<u>A+B=45 equation 1</u>
1 $=100 cents
49 cents =.49 dollar
33 cents=.33 dollar
so .<u>49A+.33B=17.89 equation 2</u>
Add equation 1 and equation 2
since these are simultaneous equations
.49A+.33B=17.89
A+ B=45
so divide equation 2 by 100 we get
49A+33B=1789
A+B =45 multiply equation 1 by 33 on both the sides we get
<u>33A+33B=1485 equation 3</u>
so subtract equation 3 from equation 2 we get
49A+33B=1789 equation 2
<u>33A+33B=1485 equation 3</u>
<u>16A+0 =304</u>
16A=304
A=304/16
A=19
putting nalue of A in equation 1 we get
A+B=45
19+B=45
B=45-19
B=26
so number of 49 cent stamps are 19
and number of 33 cent stamps are 26
Answer:
243 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Calculate the<em> base and height </em>of the rectangle
We have two conditions:
(1) 2b+ 2h = 72 in
(2) b = 3h Substitute in (1)
2(3h) + 2h = 72 Remove parentheses
6h + 2h = 72 Combine like terms
8h = 72 Divide by 6
h = 9 in Substitute in(2)
b = 3 × 9
b = 27 in
Step 2. Calculate the area of the rectangle
A = bh
A = 27 × 9
A = 243 in²
The area of the rectangle is 243 in².
Answer:
20 m by 10 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let w be width and l be length , then
2(l + w) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )
l + w = 30 ( subtract w from both sides )
l = 30 - w → (1)
lw = 200 → (2)
Substitute l = 30 - w into (2)
w(30 - w) = 200 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
30w - w² = 200 ( subtract 200 from both sides )
30w - w² - 200 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
w² - 30w + 200 = 0 ← in standard form
(w - 10)(w - 20) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for w
w - 10 = 0 ⇒ w = 10
w - 20 = 0 ⇒ w = 20
Substitute these values into (1)
l = 30 - 10 = 20
l = 30 - 20 = 10
dimensions of field is 20 m by 10 m
