Answer:
The width is 2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the area of a rectangle is
A = l*w
The area is 6 and the length is 3
6 = 3*w
Divide each side by 3
6/3 = 3w/3
2 =w
The width is 2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
let necklace : x
let earrings : y
x+y=144 -1st eqn
6x+5y=825 -2nd eqn
y=144-X -3rd eqn
substitute eqn into 2nd eqn
6x+5(144-x)= 825
6x +720-5X =825 (expanded)
X = 825-720
X =105
substitute "X=105" into 1st eqn
(105)+y=144
y= 144-105
y=39
1 necklace = 105$
1 pair of earrings = 39$
(to check back: substitute the value into the original eqn)
Y=-1/2x+5 slope=-1/2 because it goes down one unit and to the right 2 units, and the y intercept is 5 because that's where the line intercepts the y-axis!
