Answer:

The width is 50 yards and the length is 141 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call: L the length of the field and W the width of the field.

From the sentence, the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 382 yards we can formulate the following equation:

2L + 2W = 382

Because the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of two times the length with two times the width.

Then, from the sentence, the length of the field is 9 yards less than triple the width, we can formulate the following equation:

L = 3W - 9

So, replacing this last equation on the first one and solving for W, we get:

2L + 2W = 382

2(3W - 9) + 2W = 382

6W -18 +2W = 382

8W - 18 = 382

8W = 382 + 18

8W = 400

W = 400/8

W = 50

Replacing W by 50 on the following equation, we get:

L = 3W - 9

L = 3(50) - 9

L = 141

So, the width of the rectangular field is 50 yards and the length is 141 yards.

Answer:

1) b=-1.6 2) g=3 3) x=0.8 4) w=4.9 5) p=-16.2 6) y=9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use inverese operations to isolate variables ex. x+4=2

x times 2 = 6                                                            -4

/2                                                                               x=-2

An egg carton holds 12 eggs. A breakfast buffet uses 96 eggs by 8am. When the buffet ends at 10:30, a total of 156 eggs were use
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

5 cartons of eggs were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of 156 eggs used, and 96 were already used, you subtract 156 - 96 = 60. Since there 12 eggs in each carton, you divide 60 by 12 to get 5.
