Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:
P = 2(L + W)
Plug in 160:
160 = 2(L + W)
L = 4W
<span>So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.</span>
<span>160 = 2(L + W)
160 = 2(4W + W)
Combine like terms:
160 = 2(5W)
160 = 10W
Divide 10 to both sides:
W = 16
Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.
L = 4W
L = 4(16)
L = 64
So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>
Answer:
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
The price of a package of gingerbread is $17.18
Step-by-step explanation:
11x + 12y = 352
10x +8y = 270
Let "x" be the price of a package of chocolate chip.
Let "y" be the price of a package of gingerbread.
11x + 12y = 352(Multiply the 1st row by 10)
10x +8y = 270 (Multiply the 2nd row by 11)
-------------------
110x + 120y = 3520
110x +88y = 2970
--------------------------
3y = 550
y =550/3
y = 17.1875
The price of a package of gingerbread "y" is $17.18
Let's pick the first equation "110x + 120y = 3520"
110x + 120y = 3520
110x+ 120(17.1875)= 3520
110x+2062.5=3520
110x=3520−2062.5
110x=1457.5
x= 1457.5/110
x=13.25
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
Since both 4 and 6 are divisible by 2, it becomes 2/3<span />
