9514 1404 393

Answer:

  927 ft

  914 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths are half the sum plus or minus half the difference:

  1841/2 ± 13/2 = {1854/2, 1828/2} = {927, 914} . . . feet

__

Let x represent the shorter length. Then x+13 is the longer length. Their total is ..

  x +(x +13) = 1841

  2x = 1841 -13

  x = (1841 -13)/2 . . . . half the sum minus half the difference

Then the longer length is ...

  x+13 = (1841/2) -(13/2) +13

  x +13 = (1841/2) +(13/2) . . . . half the sum plus half the difference

Solve the following using substitution method
Wewaii [24]

Solution :

2a + 2b = 7    ...1)

4a + 3b = 12   ...2)

In equation, 1)

a = (7 - 2b)/2   ...3)

Putting value of a in equation 2) we get :

4 × (7 - 2b)/2  + 3b = 12

2( 7 - 2b ) + 3b = 12

14 - 4b + 3b = 12

b = 2

Putting value of b in 3) we get :

a = ( 7 - 2×2)/2

a = 3/2 = 1.5

Now,

2x - 3y = 16   ...5)

x + 2y = -6    ...6)

x = -6 - 2y

Putting above value of x in eq 5) , we get :

2( -6 - 2y ) - 3y = 16

-12 - 4y - 3y = 16

7y = -28

y = -4

x = -6 - ( 2× -4 )

x = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two car washers, Michelle and Nancy, are working on your car. Michelle can complete the work in 6 hours, while Nancy can complet
g100num [7]
Time taken by Michelle to complete the work alone = 6 hours
Time taken by Nancy to complete the work alone = 3 hours
Now, when they both are working on the same job for 1 hour, 
Amount of job completed = (1/6) + (1/3) 
                                         = (1 + 2)/6 
                                         = 3/6 
                                         = 1/2 
So in 1 hours time they both will complete half of the job. Then in 2 hours Michelle and Nancy will complete the total job. I hope the answer has come to your help.
