let the numbers be x and y
x + y = 1600 ----*
12%x = 20%y
0.12x = 0.2y
y = <u>0</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u>x</u>
0.2
y = 0.6x
substitute in * eqn
x + 0.6x = 1600
1.6x = 1600
x = 1000
then,
y = 0.6*1000
y = 600
the numbers are 1000 and 600
Answer:
3 ft by 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We were given the area as 24 square feet which means that
L×w= 24....eqn(1)
We were given the perimeter as 22 square feet which means that
22= 2(L +w).......eqn(2)
If we divide both cause by 2 in eqn(2) we have
11= L+ w .....eqn(3)
W= 11-L.........eqn(4)
Substitute eqn(4 into eqn(1)
L× (11-L)=24
-L^2 +11L-24=0
If we factorize
(L-8)(L-3)
L=3 or 8
From eqn4)
W=11-L
At L=3
W=11-3=8
Hence, the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft
The value of x would be 8
The answer is (9x^8y^3)/2.
