Answer:

length: 100 yards
width: 60 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the field. Then the length is (w+40), and the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W)

320 = 2((w+40) +w) . . . . fill in values

160 = 2W +40 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms

80 = w +20 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

60 = w . . . . . . . . subtract 20

w+40 = 100

The length is 100 yards; the width is 60 yards.

Answer:

$perimeter = 2(l + w) \\ but \: length = 40 \times width \\ perimeter = 2(40w + w) \\ p = 2(41w) \\ 320 = 2(41w) \\ w = \frac{320}{(2 \times 41)} \\ w = 3.902 \: yards \\ length = 40 \times w \\ = 40 \times 3.902 \\ l = 156.08 \: yards$

What is the answer to 6(x+4)=30

DanielleElmas [232]

Start by distributing the 6 through the parenthses on the left side.

So we have 6x + 24 = 30.

Solving from here, I would subtract 24 from both sides to get 6x = 6.

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we have x = 1.

An art gallery sells paintings at 0.35 per square inch. if a painting is 2 feet 3 inches by 3 feet 5 inches. how much would the

Natalka [10]

Hello!

ANSWER

The painting would cost $387.45.

____________________________________________________________

EXPLANATION

2' 3" = 27"

3' 5" = 41"

Multiply the length by the width (in inches) of the painting.

27 * 41 = 1107

We now know that the area of the painting is 1107 $in.^{2}$ Next, multiply the cost per square inch (0.35) by the total amount of square inches (1107).
