Answer: -4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:
x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22
That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.
Hope I helped!
Answer:
(8,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x=8
5*8-2y=30
40-2y=30 . subtract 40 from both sides
-2y=-10 . divide both sides by-2
y=5
Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let cost of apples = x
And cost of Oranges =y
Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Step 2
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Using substitution method to solve the equation
6 x + 3y= 24
24-6x=3y
y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x
Y= 8-2x
Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2
5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23
5x+ 32 -8x= 23
32-23= 8x-5x
9=3x
x=9/3
x=3
Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y
6 x + 3y= 24
6(3) +3y= 24
18+3y=24
3y= 24-18
3y=6
y=6/3= 2
Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
So square feet is area which is legnth times width or area=lw or a=lw
width=w=2 2/4
2/4=1/2
w=2 1/2=5/2
a=lw
11 11/16=187/16
187/16=l(5/2)
multiply both sides by 2/5 to clear the fraction (1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1)
374/80=legnth
simplify
374/80=187/40=4 27/40=legnth
legnh must be less than 5 and 4 and 27/40 is less than 5 so it will fit
