A cr is the correct answer
L = 2w - 3
p = 264
2(L + w) = p
2(2w - 3 + w) = 264
2(3w - 3) = 264
6w - 6 = 264
6w = 270
w = 270/6
w = 90/2
w = 45
L = 2w - 3
L = 2(45) - 3
L = 90 - 3
L = 87
The length is 87ft, and the width is 45ft
you cannot get that answer.... when you divide. Put the number into a fraction first so, it makes it easier to see what you are doing. So,
.Now simplify the cross off the zero from the top and the bottom to get
. So,
will give you 0.83333333333...3.
The solution is:
.1*50+x=.25(50+x) 5+x= 12.5+ .25x
x-.25x=12.5-5 .75x=7.5 x=7.5 or .75
