Strips of tape, with a total length of 184 cm., outline a rectangular shape on greta's driveway. she spray paints
the inside of the shape, whose length is 2 cm longer than half of its width, and whose diagonal measures 68 cm
then peels off the tape border. greta's little brother gabe, uses all of the discarded tape to create another
rectangular shape, having the greatest area possible. how much greater is the area of gabe's shape, compared
to greta's?

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
