General Idea:
(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find
(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem
(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.
(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE
Applying the concept:
Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse
<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

------
<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

------
<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

------
<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

Conclusion:
The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

A circle doesnt have a sides so 0
½ × 2 = 1
½ × 3 = 3/2
½ × 4 = 2
½ × 5 = 5/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the tank holds 2500 liters and there are already 750 liters in there, he only needs to buy 1750 liters.
If he is saving 6%, he is still spending 94%, so
.94(58.4) = 54.896 (what he'll be paying per liter after the 6% comes off, then
54.896(1750) = $96,068
It takes 7 hours to mow 4 lawns
Therefore every hour, (4 ÷ 7) or 4/7 lawns are mowed. This gives the rate.
For 35 hours, 4/7 x 35 lawns are mowed.
=35 ÷ 7 = 5
= 4 × 5
= 20 lawns
