The answer is 80.
You would first, divide 120 by 3.
Then, multiply 40 by 2.
If the number of cats that Taylor has can be represented by x, and Staci has <em>seven more cats</em> than Taylor (x), The number of cats that Taylor has can be represented by x+7.
The answer is 292, if you need to show work let me know
Answer:
Length: 16 feet
Width: 25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright so let's set up our system:
The area of a rectangular patio is 400 square feet.: L*W = 400
The length of the patio is 9 feet more than its width: L = W - 9
If you look here, all we need to do now is plug in L and solve.
(W - 9)W = 400
W^2-9W - 400 = 0
You can attempt to factor this in a number of ways. I recommend a factor tree, but however you do that is fine.
(W + 16)(W - 25) = 0
so we have two W values now, 25 and -16. Which one do we pick? We pick 25, because we cannot have a negative Width. That would literally break the universe.
So now we plug in 25 in our second equation to get L:
L = 25 - 9
L = 16
And now we have both our answers!
