Answer:
<em>Both equal sides have a length of 29 cm.</em>
<em>The third inequal side is 9 cm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
With the data provided in the problem, we can form a system of two equations with two unknowns.
Let's call x to each equal side of the isosceles triangle and y to the other side. One condition states that each equal side is 2 cm more than three times the other side. It can be written as:
We also know the perimeter of the triangle is 67 cm. Since we have to equal sides to x:
Let's put together both equations:
To solve the system, we can use the x from the first equation and replace it into the second equation:
Operating:
Joining like terms:
Solving for y:
The third inequal side is 9 cm. Now find the value of x.
Both equal sides have a length of 29 cm.
Lines with no solution are parallel lines....parallel lines will contain the same slope, but different y intercepts.
y = -2x + 3/2....slope (m) = -2 and y int (b) = 3/2
so the line we need will have a slope of -2, but can have any y int EXCEPT 3/2.
m = -2, and b = -1/3 is parallel, no solution
m = -2 and b = -2/3...parallel, no solution

Depends on how many groups of kids you want, say you want a counselor for every 10 kids, you can get at least 6 or 7 counselors
Answer:
The answer is y=-x+9.
The first thing to do is find where the line intercepts the y-axis, which is at positive 9 so you'll add a +9 to the end of your equation. Next you find the slope and since it's going down left to right, you know it is a negative. Now slope is found by change in y divided by change in x. And since both change and y and change in x are both 1, 1/1 is 1. And since you know it's negative that means the slope is -x. Altogether you get y= -x+9
