Answer:
4x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
you are doing distributive property so the answer could possibly be: 4x+2
Answer:
not
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call L the length and W the width. The length is 10 feet longer than the width, so:
L = W + 10
The area is the length times width, so:
119 = LW
Substituting:
119 = (W + 10) W
119 = W² + 10W
0 = W² + 10W − 119
0 = (W + 17) (W − 7)
W = -17 or 7
Since W must be positive, W = 7.
L = W + 10
L = 17
The length and width are 17 feet and 7 feet, respectively.
1. m
2. One set of ordered pairs
3. b
To show why this is, I’m going to explain how to write the equation for a linear function with two random sets of ordered pairs - (1,0) and (5, 8).
First, find the slope. The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two sets of points.
This is why #1 is m. M is the letter used when finding slope.
To find m, I plug in the two sets of ordered pairs.
m = (8-0)/(5-1)
m = 8/4
m = 2
An equation for a line (linear function) is written in something called slope-intercept form. It looks like y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (number y equals when x = 0). If m = 3 and b = 1, the equation would be y = 3x + 1.
Here, you have just solved for m and know it equals 2. Plug that value in for m.
y = 2x + b
To solve for b, plug one ordered pair in for x and y. I will use (1,0)
0 = 2(1) + b
0 = 2 + b
-2 = b
Now that you know b = -2, plug that in for b.
y = 2x - 2. Now you have the equation fo the line.
Replace a and b with their given values:
(2(3/5) -1/3) / -6.75/15
2 x 3/5 = 6/5
6/5 - 1/3 = 18/15 - 5/15 = 13/15
13/15 / -6.75/15 = 13/15 x 15/-6.75 = (13 x 15) / (15 x -6.75) = 195/-101.25 = -1 25/27
Answer: -1 and 25/27
