231/11 = 84/X => X = 11 * 84 / 231 = 4 = > Sara is 4 feet tall.

So 84 casts 231
then x casts 11
84/231=x/11
solve for x
mulitply both sides by 11
924/231=x=4
sarah is 4 feet

Complete the equation describing how x and y are related.<br> Please need help!!!
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation being used to express the answer is called slope-intercept form.

y = m x + b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept (where x = 0)

The formula to find slope (m) using two points is called point slope form.

m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

Pick two coordinates and plug them in.

m = (1 - 4)/(0 - 1)

m = (-3/-1)

m = 3

How is 2-2×6+3=-7?<br>The answer to this question​
alekssr [168]

Answer:

PEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS or the order of operations, you first multiply 2 by 6

2-2×6+3

2-12+3  

Then you can go in any order since addition and subtraction take the same precedence.

-10+3=-7

The area of a rectangular field is 2275 m2. The field is enclosed by 200 m of fence. What are the dimensions of the field?
AURORKA [14]
So it is enclosed by 200 m of  fence
perimiter=200 m
it is a rectangle to
p=legnth+legnth+width+width or
p=l+l+w+w or
p=2l+2w or
p=2(l+w)
so
p=200
200=2(l+w)
divide both sides by 2
100=l+w
area=l times w
area=2275
lw=2275
l+w=100
combine and solve
l+w=100
subtract w
l=100-w
subisutute 100-w for l in other eqution
(100-w)(w)=2275
distribute
-w^2+100w=2275
add (w^2-100w) to both sides
0=w^2-100w+2275
factor
find what 2 numbers add up to -100 and multiply to get 2275
guess (or factor 2275 and find factors that add up to -100)
figure out that they are -65 and -35
0=(w-65)(w-35)
set each to zero
0=w-65
0=w-35

solve for w
w=65 or 35
65>35 so
65 m=legnth
35 m=width
