The correct expression for this question would be: (50+85)+ n(11+8). That is assuming that it was 50$ transportation for everyone, not 50$ per person (and also 85$).
Hope I was able to help! If you need any further assistance, please let me know and I will help you!
Perimeter is adding all 4 sides together.
To find the length and width divide total perimeter by 2:
21 / 2 = 10.5
We now know the length of 1 side and the width of 1 side need to equal 10.5.
Since the original piece was a square we also know the width needs to equal 1/2 of the length.
So we have L + 1/2L = 10.5
Add the common terms 1 L + 1/2 L = 1 and 1/2 L
To Find L divide 10.5 by 1-1/2, which equals 7
To find the width subtract 7 from 10.5, which equals 3.5
So the paper is now 3.5 inches by 7 inches.
This is a typical work problem in algebra. The approach to this is using the equation: Rt = 1, where R is the rate per person working, t is the amount of time worked by an individual. All their rates must equal to 1. The solution is as follows:
12/x + 15/x = 1
Solving for x,
x = 27 hours
So, if they work together, they can finish the work in 27 hours.
