A little more info please?
Answer:
The length = 56 feet and the width = 17 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up 2 equations to solve this. Let the length of the rug be x, then
x = 3w + 5 where w = the width. ( looks like you got the width and the length mixed up. The length is the longest side)
The perimeter = 2x + 2w = 146 so we have the 2 equations:
x = 3w + 5
2x + 2w = 146
Now we substitute for x in the second equation:
2(3w + 5) + 2w = 146
6w + 10 + 2w = 146
8w = 136
w = 17 feet,
and x = 3(17) + 5 = 56 feet.
Answer:
The correct answer is: 980 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 flower pot = 28 pounds
1 crate = 35 pots
∴ 1 crate = 35 pots × 28 pounds = 980 pounds
