Answer:

c) j=2 and h=4

Step-by-step explanation:

h+h+j+4+j+4=20

3h+3h+j+1+j+1=30

2h+2j+8=20

6h+2j+2=30

multiply the first equation by -3

-6h-6j-24=-60

this equals

-6h-6j=-36

6h+2j=28

-4j=-8

j=2

Since j=2

2h+2(2)+8=20

2h+12=20

2h=8

h=4

A sandbox has an area of 10 2/3 square feet, and the length is 1/4 feet. What is the width of the sandbox?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The width of the sandbox is $42\frac{2}{3} \ ft$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of the sandbox = $10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}\ ft^2$

Length = $\frac{1}{4}\ ft$

Solution,

Let the width of the sandbox be 'w'.

Since the sandbox is in shape of rectangle.

So we use the formula of area of rectangle.

$Area = Length\times Width$

On substituting the given values, we get;

$\frac{1}{4}\times w=\frac{32}{3}\\$

By cross multiplication method, we get;

$w=\frac{32\times4}{3\times 1} =\frac{128}{3} =42\frac{2}{3} \ ft$

Hence The width of the sandbox is $42\frac{2}{3} \ ft$ .

Solve this expression 8÷2*5+(6-4)

Annette [7]

Value of expression $\frac{8}{2}(5) + (6-4)$ is 22 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the following expression to solve :

8÷2*5+(6-4)

⇒ $(8/2)*5 + (6-4)$

⇒ $\frac{8}{2}(5) + (6-4)$

But 8 = 4(2) , So

⇒ $\frac{4(2)}{2}(5) + (6-4)$

⇒ $4(5) + (6-4)$

⇒ $20 + (6-4)$

⇒ $20 + 2$

⇒ $22$

Therefore, Value of expression $\frac{8}{2}(5) + (6-4)$ is 22 .
