Answer:

The length of the window is 35 inches.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of an object can be found using the general formula:  P = 2W + 2L, where P = perimeter, W = width and L= length.  Since both the width and perimeter of the window are given, we can plug these values into the formula to solve for the missing variable 'L':  112 = 2(21) + 2L, or 112 = 42 + 2L.  We can then use inverse (opposite) operations to isolate the variable and solve.  Whatever we do to one side of the equation, we do to the other.  We will start by subtracting 42 from each side:  112 - 42 = 42 - 42 + 2L or 70 = 2L.  Next, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for L:  70/2 = 2L/2 or L = 35.  So, the final length of the window is 35 inches.

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve y + 8.5 = 17.2?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Subtract 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)

To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.

So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5

A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-3x - 3. A
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure form of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite-signed, reciprocal of the original line's slope. Therefore, if the slope of the original line is m = -3, the new slope is m = 1/3.

The y-intercept can be found by plugging the new slope and the values from the point (-3, 6) into the slope-intercept form equation.

m = 1/3

x = -3

y = 6

y = mx + b                                  <----- Slope-intercept form

6 = (-3)(1/3) + b                           <----- Insert values

6 = -1 + b                                    <----- Multiply -3 and 1/3

7 = b                                           <----- Add 1 to both sides

Now, that you have the slope and y-intercept, you can construct the equation of the perpendicular line.

y = (1/3)x + 7
