Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
3 buses x 42 = 126... So the final bus will carry 155-126=29 students.... Mental Math.
Given parameters:
y varies directly as w;
This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;
So, y ∝ w
y = kw
where k is the constant of proportionality
Now, given that y = 8 and w = 2
Input in the equation to solve for k;
8 = k x 2
Solving k gives, k = 4
Now to the second part,
if v is directly proportional to w;
v = k w
So v = 4w
The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
Answer:
y=5x-4
slope (m)=5
Explanation:
y=mx+b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
since the 5 is in the m, the slope would be 5.
