There are no constants here. But we have x and y here.
We will create an equation which is:
2y+3x=54.
But we will also create a second equation which states the number of seats.
x+y=24.
Now we do the two-equation solving method.
2y+3x=54
-2(x+y=24)
2y+3x=54
-2x-2y=-48
x=6
To solve for y, plug in x into one of the original equations. Which one doesn't matter.
y+6=24
y=18
Answer:
perimeter = 6x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the triangle is the distance around the triangle.
We need to apply our ability to convert word problems in to mathematical expressions.
We were told that the bottom of the triangle is x units.
From the diagram perimeter 4x + 12 + x + 3 + x = 6x + 15
Four times the length of the bottom will be 4x .
12 more than 4 times the bottom will be 4x + 12.
Hence another side of the triangle is 4x + 12.
Finally we were told that the last side is 3 more than the bottom, that will be x + 3.
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
16/100 = x / 400
Cross multiply:-
100x = 16*400
x = 6400 / 100
= 64
