Answer: 18 1/6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet.
The perimeter would be calculated as:
= 2(length + width)
= 2( 5 1/3 + 3 3/4)
= 2( 5 4/12 + 3 9/12)
= 2( 8 13/12)
= 2 (9 1/12)
= 2 × 9 1/12
= 2 × 109/12
= 218/12
= 18 2/12
= 18 1/6 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Reasoning A store sells packages of comic books with a poster. A poster and 5 comics cost $13.99. A poster and 12 comics cost $20.99. Write a linear function rule that models the cost y of a package containing any number x of comic books. Suppose another store sells a similar package, modeled by a linear function rule with initial value $. Use pencil and paper. Explain which store has the better deal. The linear function rule is y nothing.
Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)
You have the equations...
2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14
To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...
2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28
Thus,
6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28
=========
-7y=-7
y=1
Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....
2x+(1)=7
2x+1=7
-1 -1
2x=6
x=3
Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Define x :
--------------------------------------------------------------
Let the dryer be x.
Dryer = x
Washer = x -53
--------------------------------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
--------------------------------------------------------------
The washer and the dryer cost $847
⇒ x + x - 53 = 847
--------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------------------
x + x - 53 = 847
2x - 53 = 847
2x = 847 + 53
2x = 900
x = 450
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of dryer and washer :
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dryer = x = $450
Washer = x = 450 - 53 = 397
--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Dryer = $450
--------------------------------------------------------------
