I'm confused because there are no boxes, but maybe 2/4 3/6 5/10
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
Yes, they are all equal to each other
Answer:
3080+d > = 3300
Step-by-step explanation:
The first question to ask is how much money do they need in the fund?
They need the shipment costs plus the future shipment costs
2800+500 = 3300
They have 3080
Let d = how much they need to deposit
How much they have plus how much they need to deposit must be greater than or equal to how much they need.
3080+d > = 3300
Answer:
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
y= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of a flashlight
Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
Multiply the first equation by -5
-5(3x +4y) = -5*118
-15x -20y = -590
Multiply the second equation by 3
3(5x+6y) =3*180
15x + 18y = 540
Add the modified equations together.
We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x
-15x -20y = -590
15x + 18y = 540
----------------------------
-2y = -50
Divide by -2
-2y/-2 = -50/-2
y =25
Each sleeping bag costs $25
