What is the length and width of a rectangle if your area is 40 inches and you perimeter is 26 inches

We can write equations, using x and y as the length and width:

xy=40
2x+2y=26

Divide the second equation by two to get:
xy=40
x+y=13

Thus, x=13-y.

We now have (13-x)x=40, so

and 

Factoring, we get:
(x-5)(x-8)=0

So, x can be either 5 or 8 (and y will be the other option).  Thus, the length and width are 8 and 5.

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.

The 3rd quadrant as 3x+g5ti=56i: 92d-543
