Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
l = 12 feet, w = 5.5
Discussion:
Let w be the width of the pen and "l" the length. From the problem statement
l = w + 6.5 and the perimeter, P, of the fence -= 35.
Now the perimeter of the rectangle is given by the formula
P = 2l + 2w.
In our case, P = 35 and l = w + 6.5 so the equation becomes:
35 = 2(w+6.5) + 2w =>
35 = 2w + 13 + 2w =>
35 = 4w + 13 => (subtract 13 from both sides)
35-13 = 4w =>
22 = 4w =>
w = 22/4 = 5.5 feet
As, l = w + 6.5, l = 5.5 + 6.5 = 12 feet
Thank you,

Answer:
y = 1/4x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line rises one unit from -2 to -1 as x changes from 0 to 4. The slope is ...
m = rise/run = 1/4
The y-intercept (b) is where the line crosses the y-axis, at y = -2.
The equation in slope-intercept form is ...
y = mx + b
y = 1/4x -2

Answer:
<h3>20</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Triangle P R Q, if angles R P Q and P Q R are congruent, this means that two of the sides of the triangle a re also congruent (Isosceles triangle).
We can say then that length of side PR is equal to that of RQ i.e PR = RQ
Given
PR = 5n
RQ = 32+n
Required
Length of PR
Since the two sides are equal i.e PR = RQ
5n = 32+n
5n - n = 32
4n = 32
n = 32/8
n = 4
Get PR;
Since PR = 5n
PR = 5(4)
PR = 20
Hence the length of PR is 20.
The answer is the third one.
The way I think through these problems is that where you multiply (-7x), you use addition, and where you use addition (-4), you multiply.
The answers added together will equal the second number, -7, and multiplied will give you the third, -4.
What you had chosen as the answer was close. But 7.53+-0.53 equals positive 7, not negative. However they do round to -4 when multiplied.
The correct answer, -7.53 and 0.53, do equal -7 when added together and equal -4 when multiplied.
