Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

15 pounds of tea for 60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

x · 80 + y · 60 = 50 · 74

x + y = 50 · (- 60)

80x + 60y= 50 · 74

- 60x - 60y = -50 · 60

20x = 50 · (74-60) = 50 · 14

x = 50 · 14/20

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

y = 50 - 35 =

15 pounds of tea for 60 cents.

Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation::

value + value = value

80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50  

80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50  

20x = 14*50

x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)

50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)

A rectangular poster is 3 times as long as it is wide. A rectangular banner is 5 times as it is wide. Both the banner and the po
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The length and width of poster are 9 inches and 3 inches respectively and length and width of banner are 10 inches and 2 inches respectively

<u> Solution:</u>

Given, A rectangular poster is 3 times as long as it is wide.  

Rectangular banner is 5 times as long as it is wide.  

Both the banner and the poster have perimeters of 24 inches

Let, the width of poster be p, then its length will be 3p

And, the width of banner be b, then its length will be 5b

Now, according to given information,

Perimeter of poster = 24 inches and perimeter of banner = 24 inches

2(length of poster + width of poster) = 24

2(3p + p) = 24

2(4p) = 24

8p = 24

p = 3

And 2(length of banner + width of banner) = 24

2(5b + b) = 24

2(6b) = 24

12b = 24

b = 2

So, width of poster is 3 inches, then length of poster is 3p = 3 x 3 = 9 inches

And, width of banner is 2 inches, then length of banner is 5b = 5 x 2 = 10 inches
