P = 2(L + W)
P = 36
36 = 2(L + W)
36/2 = L + W
18 = L + W....L = 18 - W
A = L * W
A = 65
L = 18 - W
65 = W(18 - W)
65 = 18W - W^2
W^2 - 18W + 65 = 0
(W - 13)(W - 5) = 0
W - 13 = 0 .....L = 18 - 13
W = 13 L = 5
W - 5 = 0 L = 18 - 5
W = 5 L = 13
Not exactly sure which (length or width)...but one is 13 ft and the other is 5 ft
I cannot see the mass of the moon, can you comment the two masses so I can explain?
So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16
