Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles labeled 4y - 8 and 79 + y are called vertical angles, and definition, vertical angles are congruent. That means algebraically, that
4y - 8 = 79 + y and
3y = 87 and
y = 29
In this month spider ate 10 bugs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The spider ate 25% more bugs than last month.
It ate 8 bugs in last month.
To find the number of bugs it ate this month.
<u>Solution</u>
It ate more bugs = 8×25%
=8×
= 2
In this month it ate = 8+2 = 10 bugs.

Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5 // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width
----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)
----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x) // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5) // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10 // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48 // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8 // Divide by 6 on both sides
----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
