Let the width of the shortboard is x and the width of the longboard is y.

Then, 3x = 4.5 + 2y.

Or, 3x - 2y = 4.5

If y = 11.25, then,

3x - 2(11.25) = 4.5

3x - 22.5 = 4.5

3x = 4.5 + 22.5

= 27

x = 9

Hence, one of the possible solution is width of the shortboard is 9 inches and the width of the longboard is 11.25 inches.

Plzz help me im going to most more like this because im not understanding it
lisov135 [29]
Hi there!

In order to solve, you can use substitution. This means that you use one equation and solve for one variable, then use that one equation and plug it into the other equation. Here's how we'd do it:

WORK:
x = 12 - y (since x is already solved for, we'll use that to plug into the other given equation.
2(12 - y) + 3y = 29 (using substitution)
24 - 2y + 3y = 29
24 + y = 29
y = 5
Plug the value of y back into the first equation
x = 12 - 5
x = 7

ANSWER:
A - x = 7, y = 5

Mitchell buys a $1,400 dryer with an installment plan that requires 17% down. How much is the down payment?
Hunter-Best [27]

The amount of down payment Michelle paid for a dryer of $1,400 at 17% down payment is $238

Given:

Total cost of dryer = $1,400

down payment percentage = 17%

<em>Amount paid for down payment</em> = 17% of $1,400

= 17/100 × 1400

= 0.17 × 1400

= $238

Therefore, the amount of down payment Michelle paid for a dryer of $1,400 at 17% down payment is $238
