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:

Length is 17 feet and Width is 56 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W

146=2L+2(3L+5)

146=2L+6L+10

146=8L+10L

146-10=8L+10-10

136=8L

136\8=8\8

17=L

W=3L+5

  =3(17)+5

  =56

The organizers of a talent show have budgeted $1800 to buy souvenir clothing to sell at the event. They can buy shirts for $10 e
ki77a [65]

Let s represent number of shirts and h represent number of hats.

We have been given that the organizers of a talent show have budgeted $1800 to buy souvenir clothing to sell at the event. They can buy shirts for $10 each and hats for $8 each.

The cost of s shirts would be 10s and cost of h hats would be 8h. The cost of s shirts and h hats should be less than or equal to 1800. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

10s+8h\leq 1800

We are also told that organizers plan to buy at least 5 times as many shirts as hats. This means that number of shirts should be greater than or equal to 5 times hats. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

s\geq 5h

Therefore, the second inequality should be s\geq 5h and option C is the correct choice.

b=12 so a=19 and c=19

so a+b+c=50 </span>

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

<u>B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

<u>When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.
