Answer:
Equations:
a + b = 19
a = b + 2
a = Money that spent Laura
b = Money that spent Laureen
then:
(b+2) + b = 19
2b + 2 = 19
2b = 19-2
2b = 17
b = 17/2
b = 8.5
a = b + 2
a = 8.5 + 2
a = 10.5
Check:
10.5 + 8.5 = 19
check the picture below.
so, we know the dimensions of the pool, is a 20x10, so its area is simply 200 ft², and we know the walkway is 216 ft², so the whole thing, including pool and walkway is really 200 + 216 ft².
now, as you see in the picture, the dimensions for the combined area is 20+2x and 10+2x, since the walkway is "x" long, therefore,

notice, it cannot be -18, since is a positive length unit.
Answer:
$7
Step-by-step explanation:
Your two equations are ...
Double the second equation and subtract the first:
2(2s +4t) -(4s +6t) = 2(42) -(70)
2t = 14 . . . . . simplify
t = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 2
The cost of each tie is $7.
