Answer:

The numbers are 19 and 71.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the two numbers.  Then x + y = 90.  

Also, if we assume that the larger number is y, then y = 3x + 14.

We must solve this system of linear equations.  Since we already have the result of solution for y  (y = 3x + 14), let's use the substitution method to find the solution:

x + y = 90 becomes x + 3x + 14 = 90, or:

4x = 76.  Thus, x = 76/4, or 19.       If x = 19, then y = 3(19) + 14, or y = 71.

The numbers are 19 and 71.

Note that these add up to 90, as they must, and that 71 is 14 more than 3 times 19.

The yard behind the Cindy's house is rectangular in shape and has a perimeter of 72 feet. If the length l of the yard is 18 feet
QveST [7]
Let the width of the yard  be w.
Since the length is 18feet longer, l = w + 18

Perimeter for rectangle =  2(l + w)

        2(l + w) = 72
      
        2(w+18 + w) = 72      Divide 2 on both sides

           (w + 18 + w) = 36

               2w + 18 =   36

                       2w = 36 - 18

                            2w = 18       Divide 2 on both sides

                                w = 18/2

                                   w = 9

Recall, length l = w + 18, l = 9 + 18 = 27

Hence width, w = 9, length,l = 27

Area of rectangle = l × w = 27 × 9 =   243

Area of rectangular yard =  243 square feet.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

A: 6x⁸y⁵

B: 4x⁵z⁸

C: 48a¹²b⁵

D: 6s⁹t³

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply 2 exponents together, you add them. When you power an exponent, you multiply the 2 exponents together,

3x²2y⁴(2x⁶y)

6x⁸y⁵

xz³(4x⁴z⁵)

4x⁵z⁸

(4a³)²(3a⁶b⁵)

16a⁶(3a⁶b⁵)

48a¹²b⁵

6s⁵t(s⁴t²)

A fabric store sells two types of ribbon. One customer buys 3 rolls of the lace ribbon and 2 rolls of the satin ribbon and has a
stepan [7]
<span>Let L be the number of yards on a roll of lace ribbon. Let S be the number of yards on a roll of satin ribbon. We can set up two equations. equation 1: 3L + 2S = 120 yards equation 2: 2L + 4S = 160 yards We can multiply (equation 1) by 2 and subtract (equation 2). equation 1: 6L + 4S = 240 yards equation 2: 2L + 4S = 160 yards 4L = 80 yards L = 20 yards equation 1: 3L + 2S = 120 yards 3(20 yards) + 2S = 120 yards 2S = 60 yards S = 30 yards There are 20 yards on a roll of lace ribbon. There are 30 yards on a roll of satin ribbon.</span>

Alannah has two lengths of ribbon.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Longest possible length for each of the shorter lengths of ribbon is 9 cm because greatest common factor for both 36 and 45 is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alannah has two ribbons one length is 36cm and other is 45cm.

It asked to find shorter length of ribbons that each cut into equal pieces with out no ribbon left over.

So, let's find greatest common factor for both 36 and 45.

Let's prime factor each number

36= 2*2*3*3

45= 3*3*5

So, GCF is product of common factors for both numbers.

GCF= 3*3 =9

So, longest possible length for each of the shorter lengths of ribbon is 9 cm.
