Write 2 equations:
a +b = 39
and b = 1/2a + 6
Now replace b in the first equation with the second one:
a + 1/2a + 6 = 39
Combine like terms:
1 1/2a + 6 = 39
Subtract 6 from each side:
1 1/2a = 33
Divide both sides by 1 1/2:
a = 33 / 1 1/2 = 33 / 1.5
a = 22
Now replace a with 22 in the first equation and solve for b:
22 + b = 39
b = 39 -22
b = 17
The two numbers are 17 and 22.
Answer:
I believe that the answer is 95 meters.
Explanation:
Okay, so to solve this question, you must know the formula to solve for the area of a rectangle/square.
<em>Area of a rectangle/square - </em><em>l x w</em>
<em />
In this question, you can see the the width (72 m) and the area (6840 m²) is already given. What you can do in this situation is to use the opposite operator (division) to solve for the length of the rectangular field.
<em>6840 ÷ 72 = </em><em>95</em>
You can always double check to see if the number is correct.
<em>A = l x w</em>
<em>= 72 m x 95 m</em>
<em>= </em><em>6840 m</em>²
Really hope this helped. :)
