A package in the shape of a rectangular solid is to be mailed. The combination of the girth (perimeter of a cross section defined by w and h) and the length of the package is 60 in. The width is 4 in. greater than the height, and the length is 13 in. greater than the width. Find the dimensions of the package.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us that the length (l), width (w), and height (h) are related by ...

  2(w+h) +l = 60

  w = h +4

  l = w +13

__

Substituting for l, we get ...

  2(w +h) +(w +13) = 60

Then substituting for w, we have ...

  2((h +4) +h) +((h +4) +13)) = 60

  5h +25 = 60

  5h = 35

  h = 7

  w = 7 +4 = 11

  l = 11 +13 = 24

The package is 7 in high, 11 inches wide, and 24 inches long.

the one that has a slope of 1/2 and is positive.

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
