Answer:
- The length = x = 15 units
- The width = x-5 = 10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the length of a rectangle
As the width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length.
so
width of rectangle will be = w = x - 5 units
Area = 150 square units
Using the formula
Area = length × width
Subtract 50 from both sides
if
As length can not be negative. so
x = 15 units
Hence,
The length = x = 15 units
The width = x-5 = 15-5 = 10 units
Answer: There are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of nickels, y = Number of quarters.
As per given,
x+y = 205 ...(i)
0.05x+0.25y = 31.85 ... (ii) [1 nickel = $0.05, 1 quarter = $ 0.25]
Multiply (ii) by 20, we get
x+5y=637 ...(iii)
Eliminate (i) from (iii)
4y = 432
⇒ y = 108 [Divide both sides by 4]
Put value of y in (i), we get
Hence, there are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.
