Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x :

--------------------------------------------

Let the width be x.

Width = x

Length = 2x - 3

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter Formula :

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

 --------------------------------------------

FInd Width :

--------------------------------------------

42 = 2 (x + 2x - 3) 

42 = 2(3x - 3)

42 = 6x - 6

48 = 6x 

6x = 48

x = 8 feet

--------------------------------------------

Find Length :

--------------------------------------------

Length = 2x - 3 = 2(8) - 3 = 13 feet

--------------------------------------------

Answer: The length is 13 feet.

Line l passes through point (3,−26) and line p is the graph of y−3=−5(x−2) .
uranmaximum [27]

Considering the definition of parallel line, the equation of line l is y= -5x -11.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

A linear equation o line can be expressed in the form y = mx + b

where

  • x and y are coordinates of a point.
  • m is the slope.
  • b is the ordinate to the origin and represents the coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y axis.

<h3>Parallel line</h3>

Parallel lines are two lines that are always at the same distance from each other.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. This is, they have the same value of m and different value of b.

<h3>Equation of parallel line in this case</h3>

In this case, the line is y−3=−5(x−2) Expressed in the form y = mx + b, you get:

y−3=−5x−2×(-5)

y−3=−5x+ 10

y=−5x+ 10 + 3

<u><em>y=  -5x +13</em></u>

where:

  • the slope is -5.
  • the y-intercept is 13.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. So, the parallel line has a slope of -5 and has a form of: y= -5x + b

The line passes through the point (3, -26). Replacing in the expression for parallel line:

-26= -5× 3 + b

-26= -15 + b

-26 + 15 = b

<u><em>-11 = b</em></u>

Finally, the equation of parallel line is y= -5x -11.

I need help with an algebra assignment right away!
Georgia [21]

So remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx+b (m = slope, b = y-intercept) and standard form is ax+by = c. (a and b are coefficients and c is the constant)

Starting with the first question: 9x + 2y = 6

Firstly, subtract 9x on both sides: 2y = -9x + 6

Next, divide both sides by 2, and your equation will be y = -4.5x + 3

Now with the next equation: y - 3 = 4(x + 1)

Firstly, foil 4(x + 1): y - 3 = 4x + 4

Next, subtract y on both sides: -3 = 4x - y + 4

Next, subtract 4 on both sides, and your answer will be: -7 = 4x - y

Next equation: y + 7 = -2(x - 3)

Firstly, foil -2(x - 3): y + 7 = -2x + 6

Next, subtract 7 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be: y = -2x - 1

Next: y - 5 = 3(x - 2) (part a)

Firstly, foil 3(x - 2): y - 5 = 3x - 6

Next, add 5 on both sides, and your equation is: y = 3x - 1

Next, y - 5 = 3(x - 2) (part b)

Firstly, foil 3(x - 2): y - 5 = 3x - 6

Next, subtract y on both sides of the equations: -5 = 3x - y - 6

Next, add 6 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be: 1 = 3x - y
