Answer:
hey how u doin
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
Set the following: Length = L Width = W
The length is twice the width: L = 2*W or: W = L/2
Perimeter: P = 60ft = 2*L + 2*W
Substituting L for W in the perimeter equation gives:
P = 60ft = 2*L + 2*(L/2) = 2*L + L = 3L
L = 60ft/3 = 20ft W=L/2=20ft/2=10ft
Verify result: Perimeter= P = 60ft = 2L + 2W = 2*20ft +2*10ft = 40ft+20ft = 60ft
The area of the rectangular is: Area = A = Length*Width = L*W = 20ft*10ft = 200 (ft)^2

Answer:
charges for the first hour = $7.55
charges for each additional hour = $1.55
c = 1.55h + 7.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = charges for the first hour
y = charges for each additional hour
x + 2y = 10.65 (1)
x + 5y = 15.30 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
5y - 2y = 15.30 - 10.65
3y = 4.65
y = 4.65/3
= 1.55
y = $1.55
Substitute y = 1.55 into
x + 2y = 10.65
x + 2(1.55) = 10.65
x + 3.10 = 10.65
x = 10.65 - 3.10
= 7.55
x = $7.55
c = 1.55h + 7.55
