The length = 6W + 7. 2L + 2W = 70. This is a system of equations. To get L by itself in the second problem, -2W from both sides to get 2L = 70 - 2W. Divide by 2 to get L = 35 - W. Now put them together. 6W +7 = 35 - W. Add W to both sides to get 7W + 7 = 35. Subtract 7 from both sides to get 7W = 28. Divide 7 to both sides to get W = 4. Now replace W with 4. 6(4) + 7 = L. 24 + 7 = 31. The length is 31. To check, do the second equation. 2(31) + 2(4) = 62 + 8 = 70. Your answer is 31.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (7,10) and is perpendicular to the line y=1/2x-9.
marin [14]
The slope is -2 because the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite fraction(flip numerator and denominator) and the opposite sign (negative/positive).

Use y=mx+b to find out the y intercept.


10=-2(7)+b
10=-14+b
24=b

Your equation would be
y=-2x+24

5-2(4a+1)+3a=13 <br><br> A= 2/3<br> A= -2<br> A= -6/5<br> A=2
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

                   a = -2

Simplifying 5 + -2(4a + 1) + 3a = 13 Reorder the terms: 5 + -2(1 + 4a) + 3a = 13 5 + (1 * -2 + 4a * -2) + 3a = 13 5 + (-2 + -8a) + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3 3 + -8a + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: -8a + 3a = -5a 3 + -5a = 13 Solving 3 + -5a = 13 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5a = 13 + -3 -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10 -5a = 10 Divide each side by '-5'. a = -2

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a = 14.19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

201.5=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{201.5 } \\\\a=14.19\ \text{feet}

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.
