The actual answer is 5.66666666
The reason is that because he made 238 over 42 months you divide 238$ by 42 months
Here you're being asked to find the "perimeter" of the space, even tho' the problem doesn't specifically ask for it.
The formula for P is P = 2W + 2L.
Here the width, W, is 3 1/2 yds, and the length, L, is 4 2/3 yds. Subbing these two values into the formula for P (above) results in:
P = 2(3 1/2 yds) + 2(4 2/3 yds)
= 7 yds + 9 1/3 yds = 16 1/3 yds, total.
Idk how many start cards there are o this problem cant be solved...
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
