mr_godi [17]

14 volunteers will not be able to help.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given statement;

One booth requires 3 Volunteers.

No. of booths = 16

Given number of volunteers = 62

We will multiply total number of booths with 3 to find the number of volunteers required.

Volunteers required = No. of booths x 3

Volunteers required = $16*3\\$

Volunteers required = 48

Subtract the required volunteers from total volunteers;

$62-48=14$

14 volunteers will not be able to help.

A rectangle had a length of 2x-7 and a width of 3x+8y

Perimeter P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(2x - 7 + 3x + 8y)

P = 2(5x + 8y - 7)

P= 10x + 16y - 14
