A=xy, A=3/8 and y=3/4

3/8=3x/4

12/8=3x

4/8=x

x=1/2 mile

So the width of the parking lot is 1/2 mile.

3/8 divide 3/4
3/8 multiply 4/3
= 1/2 mile long

Alex counted to 2400 by 6's beginning with 6. Matthew counted to 2400 by 4's starting with 4. How many of the numbers counted by

kondaur [170]

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of numbers counted by Alex;

= 2,400 / 6

= 400

Number of numbers counted by Matthew;

= 2,400/4

= 600

Numbers that both of them counted = 600 - 400

= 200

Solve the system using substitution. 3x+5y=15 2x+4y=8

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

x=10

y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y= 15...eqn. 1

2x + 4y= 8...eqn. 2

multiply eqn. 1 by 2 and eqn. 2 by 3

6x + 10y = 30...eqn. 3

6x + 12y = 24...eqn. 4

0 - 2y = 6

divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is -2

- 2y = 6

- 2 -2

y= -3

Put y= -3 into eqn. 1

3x + 5(-3) = 15

3x - 15 = 15

3x =15 + 15

3x = 30

3 3

x = 10

Therefore X= 10 and Y= -3

Solve the equation 3x-4=8-x

solmaris [256]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-4=8-x(Group like terms)

3x+x=8+4(Add both sides)

4x=12(After adding you will proceed to divide both sides by 4)

x=3(x is 3 because 4 can divide 12 3 times that's why we have x as equal to 3)
