It's moving day, and Lydia has packed her books into large and small boxes. The large boxes hold 35 books, and the small ones ho

Virty [35]

The number of large boxes is 4 and the number of small boxes is 14.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the number of large boxes is $x$ and the number of small boxes is $y$

As, the total number of boxes is 18, so the first equation is....

$x+y= 18 .......................................(1)$

The large boxes hold 35 books, and the small ones hold 20 books and the total number of books is 420. So the second equation will be .....

$35x+20y=420................................(2)$

Now solving equation (1) for $y$ itself , we will get....

$y= 18-x$

We will plug this $y= 18-x$ into equation (2). So.....

$35x+20(18-x)=420\\ \\ 35x+360-20x=420\\ \\ 15x= 420-360\\ \\ 15x=60\\ \\ x= \frac{60}{15}=4$

Now plugging this $x=4$ into the equation $y= 18-x$ .......

$y= 18-4= 14$

Thus, the number of large boxes is 4 and the number of small boxes is 14.

A rectangle has a width of 2.5. When the length of this rectangle is decreased by 5 inches, the new area of the rectangle is 17.

kati45 [8]

<h3><u>Part A: An equation to represent this situation, where x represents the original length of the rectangle is:</u></h3>

$17.5 = (x-5) \times 2.5$

<h3><u>Part B: Original length of the rectangle is 12 inches</u></h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

A rectangle has a width of 2.5

Therefore,

width = 2.5 inches

Let "x" be the original length of the rectangle

When the length of this rectangle is decreased by 5 inches

Therefore,

New length = x - 5

The new area of the rectangle is 17.5 square inches

Therefore,

<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

$Area = length \times width$

$17.5 = (x-5) \times 2.5\\\\17.5 = 2.5x - 12.5\\\\2.5x = 17.5 + 12.5\\\\2.5x = 30\\\\x = 12$

Thus original length of the rectangle is 12 inches
