He packed 576 apples into the boxes.
31 + 41 = 72 and 72 * 8 = 576
Answer:
x = 29
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Write 2 equations:
x + y = 42
x - y = 16
Isolate x in the first equation:
x = 42 - y
Substitute this in for x in the second equation:
42 - y - y = 16
42 - 2y = 16
solve for y:
-2y = -26
y = 13
Plug in 13 for y in either equation:
x + 13 = 42
Solve for x:
x = 29
Answer:
width = 6
length = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = W - 2
plug in perimeter:
20 = 2L + 2W
you know the length is 2 less than the width
plug in (w - 2) for L:
20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w
solve for w:
20 = 2w - 4 + 2w
20 = 4w - 4
4w = 24
w = 6
now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:
L = 6 - 2
L = 4
width = 6
length = 4
Answer: 112.5 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = lw
l = 7.5
w = 15
7.5 * 15 = 112.5
