The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
Answer:
9.8in
Step-by-step explanation:
i think this right
The pattern is you multiply by 3, and add 2, so the missing number would be 53
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
24y = 7
Our primary objective here is to get y on it's own side, without any numbers attached.
Since a 24 is attached to the y, we have to divide the 24y by 24.
Remember that whatever we do to one side, we MUST do to the other.
Since 
can't be simplified, that would be our answer.
