Answer:
B: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the shape into separate rectangles! It will make the problem much easier. You can split it so that you will have a 12 x 3 rectangle and a 6 x 6 rectangle because you subtract 3 from 9 and subtract 6 from 12.
12 x 3 = 36
6 x 6 = 36
36 + 36 = 72
Let me know if you're still confused!
So you have two of those--when you add those together, you get "seven and eight-tenths," or 7.8 The 2 shorter sides are what's left to still measure. If the total perimeter is 10.4, you get the shorter sides by: 10.4 - 7.8 = 2.6, but REMEMBER, the 2.6 is BOTH shorter sides added together, so each ONE of them is 1.3 SO... your hallway/rectangle is 3.9 meters on each long side, and 1.3 meters on each short side. i hope this helps you
Answer: $23..50 see attachment for the explanation.
I'll get you started. Let x and y be the two numbers. we have: x + y = 74 (sum is 74) x = 4y - 6 (the number x is six less than 4 times y) Now that you have the equations use an algebraic techniques to eliminate one variable thereby solving for the other.
