set up an equation for the perimeter

l = length w = width

2l + 2w = 64

set up another equation as you know the length is 3 times the width

w = 3l

subsitute w = 3l into the 2l + 2w = 64

2l + 2(3l) = 64

solve for l

2l + 6l = 64

8l = 64

<em><u>length</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>8</u></em>

subsitute into w = 3l

w = 3(8)

<em><u>width</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>4</u></em>

Answer:

x = 3, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y=y

then, -3x +7 = 2x-8

7+8 = 3x+2x

15 = 5x

x=3

substitute

y = 2(3) - 8

y = -2

The participants can only move forward and when they come to a fork in the maze they are equally likely to take any one of the paths. What is the expected monetary value for each participant that goes through the maze?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: Tuesday, July 9 (correct me if I'm wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen goes every other day, so she goes every odd day.

Terry goes every third day, so Jen and Terry go together every six days.

Six days later is Sunday June 9, then Saturday June 15, then Friday Jun 21, then Thursday June 27, then Wednesday July 3.

Carlos only comes Mondays and Tuesday, so the next six days would be Tuesday July 9.
