Answer:

The length is 28 and the width is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.

Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5

So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:

2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78

6x - 10 + 2x = 78

8x - 10 = 78

8x = 88

x = 11

x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:

3x - 5

3 × 11 - 5

33 - 5 = 28

Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Magazines = 2

Price = $ 12

To Find:

Possible Prices of magazines = ?

Solution:

As it is given that Prices of magazines is multiples of 3

So

Multiples of 3 up till 12 are

Now

Total Price of magazine is $12

Now The possible prices of the magazines are

First Possibility:

If price of first magazine is $12 then second would be $0 (free)

First possible price $12 and $0

Second Possibility:

If price of first magazine is $9 then second would be $3

Second possible price $3 and $9

Third Possibility:

If price of first magazine is $6 then second would be $6

Third possible price $6 and $6

So the possibilities are

$12 and $ 0    ,    $9 and $ 3      , $6 and $6
