b=2f
3.50b+4.50f=46.00
3.50*2f+4.50f=46.00
7.00f+4.50f=46.00
11.50f=46.00
f=46.00/11.50
f=4 boxes of felt tip pens were bought.
b=2*4=8 boxes of ball point pens were bought.
Proof:
3.50*8+4.50*4=46.00
28+18=46.00

Answer 161831 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2009-09-16 19:30:41 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+3(90-x)=202
x+270-3x=202
-2x=202-270
-2x=-68
x=-68/-2
x=34 degrees for the smaller angle.
90-34=56 degrees for the larger angle.
Proof:
34+3*56=202
34+168=202
202=202

Answer 161657 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2009-09-15 22:03:15 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you meant:
21/(a+2)=3/(a-1)
Then:
21(a-1)=3(a+2)
21a-21=3a+6
21a-3a=6+21
18a=27
a=27/18
a=3/2 ans.
Proof:
21/(3/2+2)=3/(3/2-1)
21/(7/2)=3/(1/2)
21*2/7=3*2/1
42/7=6
6=6

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.5x+1x+.5x=3,560
2x=3,560
x=3,560/2
x=1,780 m. is the length of the long span.
1,780/2=890 m. is the length of the 2 shorter spans.
Proof:
890+1,780+890=3,560
3,560=3,560

I tried to do this problem, and I would just like to check with you.
The problem is:
P=2L+2W solve for L
so i subtracted 2W from both sides
and got: P-2W=2L
then i divided by 2 and got
L=P-2W/2
am i correct? or is there something else that needs to be done?
