Answer:

84cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2l+2w

We are given,

P=40cm

l=2w+2

Plug these into the first formula and solve for the dimensions,

length and width, of the rectangle:

40=2(2w+2)+2w Simplify

40=4w+4+2w

40=6w+4

36=6w

6=w OR the width is 6cm, therefore,

the length is

l=2(6)+2

l=14cm

To calculate the area of a rectangle, A=lw,

plug the length,14cm, and the width, 6cm, into this formula

A=(14)(6)

A=84cm2 OR the area of the rectangle is 84cm^2

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of L = $5

Cost of S = $3

No. of drinks sold = 60 drinks

Total sale = $220

Solution:

L + S = 60 - (1) (multiplying by 3)

5L + 3S = 220 - (2)

(-)3L +(-) 3S = (-)180 - (1)

2L = 40

L = 40 / 2

L = 20 Large drinks

20 + S = 60

S = 60 - 20

S = 40 small drinks

Therefore, 20 large drinks and 40 small drinks

I think that the answer is 2, because if you multiply two by each factor in the original photograph then you get the size of the new photograph.

Answer:

Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.

Ivy's age will be $x$

and Rose's age will be $y$

"Ivy is half as old as her sister":

$x=\frac{y}{2}$

this will be our <u>fist equation.</u>

"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"

in six years Ivy will have $x+6$ years, and Rose will have $y +6$ years, so for this sentence we have the equation:

$x+6=\frac{2}{3}(y+6)$

this will be our <u>second equation.</u>

Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):

$\frac{y}{2}+6=\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\\frac{y+12}{2} =\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\y+12=\frac{4}{3} (y+6)\\3(y+12)=4(y+6)\\3y+36=4y+24\\36-24=4y-3y\\12=y$

Rose is 12 years old.

and Ivy (using the fist equation):

$x=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Ivy is 6 years old.
