Can someone help me Translate the 4 statements below into mathematical equations.?
The Perimeter of a rectangle is 600. The length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 times the width.
Mrs. Gardner went to the market. She purchased some lettuce heads and some tomatoes. There were 12 items purchased. She bought twice as many tomatoes as lettuce heads.
3 times the first of three consecutive numbers is 4 more than 2 times the second.
Favorite Answer
3x + 6 = 39
3x = 33
x = 11
answer: 11,13,15
—————————-
L = 3W + 2
P = 2L + 2W
600 = 2 (3W + 2) + 2W
600 = 8W + 4
596 = 8W
W = 74.5
L = 225.5
————————-
T = 2L
2L + L = 12
3L = 12
L = 4
T = 8
————————–
x 1st#, (x + 1) 2nd, (x + 2) 3rd
3x = 2 (x + 1) + 4
3x = 2x + 6
x = 6
2w+2(2+3w)=600 ; w is the width of the rectangle
2x+x=12 ; x is the no of lettuce heads
3x=4+2(x+1); x is the smallest of the consecutive integers
1) 39=X+(x-2)+(x-4) or 39=3X-6 or 45=3x or x=15; so
15+13+11 = 33
2)If the width is w and the length is l; then 2w+2L=600; and since l=2*(3W); then 2w+2*(2*(3W))=600 then w=? you do the math.
3)If lettuce is L and Tomatoes is T then T+L=12 or and L=2T so 3T=12
and you lost me on the 4th
