Answer:
Let x be the first piece, y the 2nd, Z the 3rd
You know all of the pieces together make 24 thus,
24 = x + y + z
The second piece is 2 times longer than the 1st so,
y = 2x
The 3rd is 5 times longer
z = 5x
Replace them in the equation of the beginning
24 = x + 2x + 5x
24 = 8x
x = 3 (First piece)
y = 6 (Second Piece)
z = 15 (Third Piece)
Answer:
Lourdes has $24.
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate equation would be L + (L/3) = $32, or 3L + L = $96.
Solving for L: 4L = $96, and L = $24. This is 3x what Ella has, so Ella has $8.
Check: Do $8 and $24 add up to $32? YES
Answer:
624
Step-by-step explanation:
the width is 104
if the length is doubled, that means the length is 208.
rectangles have 2 sets of equal sides
104 + 104 =208
208 + 208 = 416
416+208 = 624
