The perimeter of a square is 20 ft. If you increase the length of the square by 2 feet and decrease the width by 1 foot, what is

the area, in square feet, of the new figure?

Technically, you can't do that because a square has equal side lengths

The perimeter of a square is found by just adding the lengths of the sides together. Since the square has four sides you just divide 20 by 4 to get 5 the length of each side. Then just add 2 to 5 to get the length of 7 and then subtract 1 from 5 to get 4 for the width. The new figure is going to be a rectangle so to find its area it's just width x length. 7 x 4 = 28 ft^2

Zöe schedules advertising for a radio station. She must fill 12 minutes each hour with 30 second ads and 60 second ads. Zöe sold
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
I cannot see Zoe's work to explain the error, but the correct method of solving is listed:

x is the number of 30-second ads
y is the number of 60-second ads

x+y=12(60)=720 would be the first equation; this is because while the ads together make 12 minutes, the ad times are in seconds.  This means we must multiply 12 by 60.

y=2x is the second equation

Our system is then
x+y=720
y=2x

We will use substitution to solve this.  Plug 2x in place of y in the first equation:
x+2x = 720

Combine like terms:
3x = 720

Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 720/3
x = 240

Substitute this value in for x in the second equation:
y=2(240)
y=480

Sav [38]

Answer:

79%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. Than pick the middle number. If there are two middle numbers then you add them together and then divide by 2.

Find the solution set of the following equations: <br><br>2y=2x+7<br><br>X=y+2
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

2y = 2x+7

x = y+2

solving the system of equations

\begin{bmatrix}2y=2x+7\\ x=y+2\end{bmatrix}

Arrange equation variables for elimination

\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=7\\ -y+x=2\end{bmatrix}

Multiply -y+x=2 by 2:  -2y+2x=4

\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=7\\ -2y+2x=4\end{bmatrix}

so adding

-2y+2x=4

+

\underline{2y-2x=7}

0=11

so the system of equations becomes

\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=7\\ 0=11\end{bmatrix}

0 = 11 is false, therefore the system of equations has no solution.

Thus,

No Solution!
