Answer:

ghs 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If Boadu and ansah formed a company and agreed that their annual profit will be shared in the ratio of 4:5 respectively, the total ratio will be 4 + 5 = 9

Let Boadu share be x

Let ansah share be y

If at the end of the year ansah received ghs5,000 more than Boadu, then;

y = 5000 + x

Boadu share = 4/9 * (x+y)

x+y is the total amount shared

x = 4/9 * (x+y)

Substitute y = 5000 + x

9x = 4(x+y)

9x = 4x + 4y

9x - 4x = 4y

5x = 4y

5x = 4(5000+x)

5x = 20,000 + 4x

5x-4x = 20,000

x = 20,000

Hence Boadu share is ghs 20,000

The length of a rectangle is 12 units longer than the width. The perimeter is 7 times the width. Find the length and the width o
katen-ka-za [31]

Log explanation below; answer is at bottom.

If the length, l, is 12 units longer than the width, w, then w = l - 12. If the perimeter, p,

p = 2l +2w,

is 7 x w, then

w = p/7

When two things are set equal to the same variable, they are equal to each other, so,

l - 12 = p/7

Now you need to get rid of the p so you are only working with one variable. To do this you plug in whatever p is equal to for p, so,

l - 12 = (2l + 2w)/7 now to get rid of the w do the same thing we did with p just for w. So,

l - 12 = (2l + 2(l - 12))/7

To solve this you want to multiply both sides by 7 first to get rid of the fraction.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2(l - 12)

Next you want to distribute the 2 over the l and the 12.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2l - 24

Next you want to combine like terms on each side.

7l - 84 = 4l - 24

Next add 84 and subtract 4l from sides to isolate the variable.

3l = 60

Now divide each side by 11 to get your answer.

l = 20.

To find the width,

w = l - 12  

Just plug in and solve.

w = 20 - 12

w = 8

So your length and width are 20 and 8.

l = 20

w = 8
