She can put the rocks into,
2 groups of 19
Or one group of 38.
Lets x = # of hours Melania works at <span>office clerk
and y = </span># of hours Melania works as a <span>cashier
x + y = 38 so x = 38 - y
13x + 9.25y = 434
substitute </span> x = 38 - y into 13x + 9.25y = 434
13x + 9.25y = 434
13(38 - y) + 9.25y = 434
494 - 13y + 9.25y = 434
-3.75y = -60
y = 16
x = 38 - y so x = 38 - 16 = 22
answer
Melania works at office clerk = 22 hours
Melania works as a cashier = 16 hours
Solution,
We have,
Width of rectangle, b = (2.5u+9.8) cm
Length of rectangle, l = (1.5u+3.9) cm
We need to find the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2(l+b)
P = 2[(2.5u+9.8)+(1.5u+3.9)]
Collecting like terms
P = 2[(2.5u+1.5u)+(9.8+3.9)]
P=2(4u+13.7)
⇒ P = 8u+27.4
So, the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is (8u+27.4) cm.
