Answer:

W=7 and L=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.

First the problem states that  length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10

Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77

Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.

3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0

(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0

W = -11/3 and/or W=7

Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.

So W=7

Plug that into the first equation.

3(7)-10= 11 so L=11

How do you write $2.161616 as a fraction and mixed number
faltersainse [42]
2.161616 =  2.161616/1 =21. 61616/10 = 216.1616/100 = 2161.616/1,000

= 21616.16/10,000 = 216161.6/100,000 = 2161616/1,000,000
As a mixed number = 2(161616/100,000)

jonathan has a collection of 400 marbles. Blue marbles make up17%, percent of his collection. How many blue marbles does Jonatha
dsp73
17% of 400 is 68.
Another way u can do it is 17% of 100 four times since its easier to do. 
17% of 100 is 17.
we have to do this 4 times since 100 goes into 400 four times.
So 17*4 =68
