Answer:

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Length = x

Width = y

Original rectangle:

2(Length + width) = 60

2x + 2y = 60

New rectangle has same length with original rectangle but half of the width of the original rectangle when folded

Length = x

Width = 1/2y

2(Length + 1/2width) = 49

2x + y = 49

2x + 2y = 60 (1)

2x + y = 49 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate x

2y - y = 60 - 49

y = 11

Substitute y = 11 into (2)

2x + y = 49

2x + 11 = 49

2x = 49 - 11

2x = 38

x = 38/2

x = 19

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

considering the one time deposit and monthly went rent the equation y equals 1200+400x can be used to represent why the total co
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The trick with this problem is that there is no trick - there's no math involved at all, just wordplay. The key is in one-time deposit; what you're looking for isn't a recurring fee, but rather a constant. Now, an equation is made up of three things:

  • a variable
  • a relational statement in the form of =
  • a constant, even if it isn't really there, it's zero

In this case, what you're looking for is the constant in the equation; a value that doesn't change when any variable changes.

The only number in your question that fits the bill is 1200$, since it's a <em>one-time, unchanging value.</em> <em>y </em>is the total amount paid and x represents the months, which are both variables; 400 is tied to x, so it also changes based on months.
