In a certain rectangle, the ratio of the lengths of 2 adjacent sides is 5 to 2. If the area of the rectangle is
90 square inches, what is the length, in inches, of the
longer side?
A. 6.
B. 9
C. 15
D. 18
E. 45

C. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer side is 15 and the shorter side is 6.

15*6=90

reduce 15 by dividing it by 3

=5

reduce 6 by dividing it by 3

=2

therefore, the ratio is 5:2

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130

welcome!

the answer is 13/48
