If seeds are 8 per pound then you need to find the unit rate and make a proportion with how much she spent. So you can make a ratio of 1(pound) / $8 compared to x(pounds) / $10. Then, cross-multiply.
10 = 8x. Divide both sides by 8
10/ 8 = x Simplify the fraction
1 1/4 = x
So, she bought 1 1/4 pounds of seeds
Length = l = 3x
Width = w = 2x
P = 2l + 2w
P = 2(3x) + 2(2x)
530 = 6x + 4x
530 = 10x
53 = x
Length = 3x = 3(53) = 318 / 2 sides = 159
<span>Width = 2x = 2(53) = 212/ 2 sides = 106
the length of the lot is 159 yards
the width of the lot is 106 yards</span>
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation

MaReeco's rewrote equation is given by

As MaReeco subtracted 3 to the right side of the equation, which imbalanced the equation. Hence, it is not correct.
Correction:
For the next step, MaReeco should have added 3 to both sides
i.e.


Therefore, the acceptable move would have been:
1) a = tickets in advance goal = 2000
d =tickets at door
6a +8d = 2000
6(142)+8d =2000
852+8d=2000
8d=2000-852
8d=1148
d=1148/8
d=143.5
round up d=144 need to sell 144 tickets at door
