Answer:

x = 23, and y = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say,

x = width

y = length

this means,

x(2) + y(2) = 100

It also says that the width is 4 meters less than the length.

if we put that into equation form it would look like this,

y - 4 = x

using these 2 equations, we can use the subustusion method to find the x.

x(2) + y(2) = 100

turns in to this :

step 1.     (y - 4) (2) + y(2) = 100 - given

step 2.      2y -8 + 2y = 100 -  distribute

step 3.      4y -8 = 100 - Combine like terms

step 4.       4y  = 108 - Get rid of the 8

step 5        4y/4  = 108 /4 - divide

step 6 .          y = 27

So if y is 27, then

x(2)  +  27(2) = 100

x(2) + 54 = 100

100 - 54 = 46, so x(2) is 46, but to get x, we need to divide 46 by 2, since x multiplied by 2 equals 46.

46  / 2 = 23 = x

so x = 23, and y = 27.

and the rule that y - 4 = x still applies, since 27 - 4 = 23.

I hope this wasn't confusing! It did take a long time tho.

Tom has 28 milk chocolates and emily has 24 dark chocolates they have to divide these chocolates into small packets that each ha
Nutka1998 [239]
28+24=52
So we make a sum of what's going to equal 52 in small packets.
I found 4x13=52. 13 would be the number of packets......
BUT!! Since it MUST be equal dark and milk and we have 28 and 26,
you would have to eliminate 1 pack because all 4 would be milk chocolate.
So that is only 12 packets.
4 per pack so that would be 2 dark and 2 milk per packet.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

No. It is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing 5x³+21x²-40x-15 by 5x+4 gives x²+5x-4 with a remainder. Which means, 5x+4 is not a factor of 5x³+21x²-40x-15
