Answer:

l = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P =2(l+w)

The width is x-6

w = x-6

The length is 8 units longer than the width

l = w+8

l = x-6+8

l = x+2

We can substitute this into the equation for Perimeter, which is given as 40

40 = 2(x+2 + x-6)

Combine like terms

40 =2 (2x-4)

Divide by 2

40/2 = 2/2 (2x-4)

20 = 2x-4

Add 4 to each side

20+4 =2x-4+4

24 = 2x

Divide by 2

24/2 =2x/2

12=x

We want to know the length

l = x+2

l =12+2

l = 14

the Student Government wants to sell magazines subscription to make a profit of at least $3,000. They make $1.25 per m magazine
IRINA_888 [86]

The student Government wants to make a profit of at least $3000 from a magazines sales. At least $3000 simply means the profit should be $3000 and above.

There profit is $1.25 per magazine(m) subscription sold.

Their expenses are as follows

advertisement in school = $100

advertisement in community = $150

let

m = number of magazine sold

profit = selling price - cost price

selling price

1.25\times m=1.25m

Cost price

100+150=\text{\$}250

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} 1.25m-250\ge3000 \\ \text{divide through by 1.25} \\ \frac{1.25m}{1.25}-\frac{250}{1.25}\ge\frac{3000}{1.25} \\ m-200\ge2400 \end{gathered}
