Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.

You want to put a fence around your field. The cost of fencing is $60 per meter. The
Darina [25.2K]
Cost per meter(C) = $60/m
Length of rectangular field(L) = 50m
L = 2W
-> W = L/2
-> W = 50/2
-> Width of rectangular field = 25m
Cost of one field length(l) = L x C
-> l = 50 x 60
-> l = $3000
Two of the lengths of the field = 2 x l
-> 2 x $3000
-> $6000

Cost of one field width(w) = W x C
-> w = 25 x 60
-> w = $1500
Two of the widths of the field = 2 x w
-> 2 x $1500
-> $3000

Cost of fencing entire field = $6000+$3000
Hence, total field cost = $9000
