Ratio

Width : Length
2 : 5
Let x be the scale factor
Width : Length
2x : 5x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
70 = 2(5x + 2x)
70 = 2(7x)
70 = 14x
14x = 70
x = 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Length = 5x
Length = 5(5)
Length = 25
Width = 2x
Width = 2(5)
Width = 10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 25 cm, Width = 10 cm

25% off means that they are paying 75% of the original price. Multiply d by 75%:
0.75d
Now you need to multiply the price by 1 plus the sales tax to get the total cost:
0.75d x 1.08
Simplify by multiplying 0.75 by 1.08 to get:
0.81d
The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:
If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:
w=7.5x1.48 tons
w=11.1 tons
The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?
1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
x-------11.1 tons of gravel
x=(11.1x1)/3.7
x=11.1/3.7
x=3 containers
H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

The answer is: 3 containers.
In the problem -5+x=0, x=5
You can resolve all of them.
so the first one would be 3q+2p
that second 2p+3q
the third 2p+2q+q which equals 2p+3q
they all end up as the same thing so both are equivalent
