Let x represent the width. Since the length is 3 more than 4 times the width, that would be equal to 3+4x. The perimeter is the sum of all sides, so that would be x+x+3+4x+3+4=86. Combine like terms, which would result in 10x+6=86. Subtract 6 from both sides giving you 10x=80. Divide by 10 giving you x=8. That means that the width is 8. The length is 3+4x. Substitute 8 for x giving you 3+4(8). Multiply, giving you 3+32, then add, which would give you 35. 35 is the length.
4 because 8 x 3= 23 but 8 x 4= 32 so thre will be some left over.
Answer:
20 days
Step-by-step explanation:
t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone
(t+8) = time required by the other worker
So:
7.5/ t + 7.5/ (t + 8) = 1
Solve for t.
...
t = 12 days, the first guy working alone
The other worker would finish the job in 20 days.
Answer:
The son is five years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the son's age be x
A man is five as old as his son, 5x
In five years, he would be three times as old as his son
In five years: son would be x+5
Father 5x+5
3(x+5)=5x+5
3x+15=5x+5
Collect like terms
15-5=5x-3x
10=2x
Divide by 2
10/2=2x/2
x=5
The son is five years old
