Let
x-------------> <span>the length of a rectangle
y-------------> the </span>width of a rectangle
we know that
x+y=130-----------> equation 1
and
x=1.6y--------------> equation 2

<span>I substitute 2 in 1
(1.6y)+y=130-------------> 2.6y=130------------> y=130/2.6------> y=50 ft
x=1.6y--------> x=1.6*50---------> x=80 ft

the answer is
</span>the length is 80 ft
 the width is 50ft

Car A travels 702 miles on 12 gallons of gasoline car b travels 873 miles and 15 gallons of gasoline David wants to buy a car wi
Assoli18 [71]

David should buy Car A because it covers more miles in one gallon than Car B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance traveled by Car A = d_A = 702\ miles

Gallons used by Car A = g_A = 12

Distance traveled by Car B = d_B = 873\ miles

Gallons used by Car B = g_B = 15

In order to find the distance traveled on one gallon, we will divide the total distance by number of gallons

So,

Distance traveled by Car A in one gallon = \frac{702}{12} =58.5\ miles\ per\ gallon

Distance traveled by Car B in one gallon = \frac{873}{15} = 58.2\ miles\ per\ gallon

We can see that Car A travels more distance in one gallon that is 58.5 miles per gallon

So,

David should buy Car A because it covers more miles in one gallon than Car B

Solve -4(10 + 3x) - (x + 8) = -9. Check your solution.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation,  -4(10 + 3x) - (x + 8) = - 9:

Distribute -4 into (10x + 3x), and - 1 into (x + 8):

-4(10 + 3x) - (x + 8) = - 9

-40 -12x - x - 8 = -9

Combine like terms:

-48 - 13x = -9

Add 48 to both sides:

-48 + 48 - 13x = -9 + 48

-13x = 39

Divide both sides by -13:

\frac{-13x}{-13} = \frac{39}{-13}

x = -3

Therefore, x = -3
