Answer:

the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the statement we can make a system of 2x2 equations, where:

"x" is the area of the first field

"y" is the area of the second field

However,

x + y = 56 => x = 56 - y

3/4 * x + 2/3 * y = 40

replacing we have:

3/4 * (56 - y) + 2/3 * y = 40

42 - 3/4 * y + 2/3 * y = 40

-0.0833 * y = 40 - 42

y = -2 / -0.0833

y = 24

now for x:

 x = 56 - 24

x = 32

This means that the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Which equation represents "eight times a number and five is sixty-nine?"
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

8n + 5 = 69

And that number is 8, because 8•8+5=69

Step-by-step explanation:

"eight times a number and five is sixty-nine" in this statement the words "a number" is the number we dont know and so we use a variable for it. I put n, but you could have used x or a or any variable. The "and five" indicates adding. The "is" indicates equals.
