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.

Donna's Deli delivers lunches for $7 per person plus a $35 delivery fee. Larry's Lunches delivers lunches for $11 per person.
Katena32 [7]
A.    Cost=7(Number of People)+35          or y=7x+35
b.   11x<7x+35
c.   Subtract 7x from both sides: 4x<35
d. Divide both sides by 4: x< 8.75 people.  This means that if the number of lunches ordered is 8 or less, Larry's Lunches will be cheaper.  However, if the number of lunches ordered is 9 or more, Donna's Deli will be cheaper.  Thus, for an order of 10 lunches, Donna's Deli would charge less.

The length of a rectangle is 6m more then the width. The area is 40m^2 . What is the length and the width?
erastova [34]

let the width of the rectangle be x

area of rectangle is l*b

x * (x + 6) = 40^2

x^2 + 6x = 40^2

x^2 + 6x = 1600

x + 6x =√1600

x + 6x = 40

7x = 40

x = 5.7
