I am going to show you how easy this is. Once you understand, you will be able to do this forever.
:
Assuming the side of the rectangle are (L) length and (W) width, the perimeter:
2L + 2W = 234
:
"the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide,", the equation for this statement:
L = 2W
:
In the first equation, we can replace L with 2W, then we have
2(2W) + 2W = 234
4W + 2W = 234
6W = 234
Divide both sides by 6
W = 234%2F6
W = 39 meters is the width
:
Remember it said the length is twice the width, therefore:
L = 2(39)
L = 78 meters is the length
:
:
Check this by finding the perimeter with these values
2(78) + 2(39) =
156 + 78 = 234
Y-intercept= (0,2)
x-intercept= (3,0)
Why?
The x-intercept is when y is 0 and y-intercept is when x is 0.
Lets say W=Wesley, M=Max, and J=Jared.
So your equations are M=2J, 2M=W, and M+J+W=21days(3 weeks)
So substituting M and W into M+J+W=21 gives you 2J+J+2M=21, substitute M again, to get 2J+J+4J=21 so you get 7J=21 so J= 3 days. Using J=3, substitute in to find M, using M=2J, so M=2(3) so M=6 and using that, substitute into 2M=W, so 2(6)=W so W=12. And 12+6+3=21 to check.
For number 1, I think its C because that makes the number 55000
