Answer:
2 8/11 = b
Step-by-step explanation:
2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5
combine like terms
11 - 3b = -18 + 8b
add 3b
11 = -18 + 11b
add 18
29 = 11b
divide by 11
2 8/11 = b
It is increase, because 15 is less than 18. Other way around, if the question is 18 to 15 yards, then that would be decrease, because it is getting smaller.
Answer:
y = 2/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The simpliest way to determine the slope of the line is to see the rise over run of the line. In this case, we are given two points which are at (0, -1) and (3,1)
By calculating rise of run, we can see that the starting point goes up by 2 units, from -1 to 1 and goes to the right 3 units, from 0 to 3
In this case, that means we have a slope of 2/3x.
The +b plays into the y-intercept of the line, which is actually the same of one of our points: (0,-1)
Since this number is a negative, it would actually be y = (2/3)x + (-1) which is the same as y=2/3x - 1
If the perimeter is 98 cm, the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides is 49 cm.
... (2x -1) + (3x +5) = 49 . . . . use the given information and relation
... 5x +4 = 49 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
... 5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
... x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
The left side dimension is then
... 2x -1 = 2·9 -1 = 17 . . . . cm
The top dimension is
... 3x +5 = 3·9 +5 = 32 . . . . cm
The rectangle is 17 cm by 32 cm.
