Answer: the length of the flag is 770ft.

The width of the flag is 350 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the national flag.

Let W represent the width of the national flag.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of the flag is 2,240ft. This means that 2240 = 2(L + W)

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

1120 = L + W- - - - - - - - - - - -1

if the length is 420 ft greater than the width, it means that

L = W + 420

Substituting L = W + 420 into equation 1, it becomes

1120 = W + 420 + W

2W + 420 = 1120

2W = 1120 - 420 = 700

W = 700 / 2 = 350

L = W + 420 = 350 + 420

L = 770

Equation for "five elevenths times a number is 55"
nika2105 [10]
Let the unknown number be x.

5/11 * x = 55

Since x is being multiplied by 5/11, and you want x alone, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/11 which 11/5.

11/5 * 5/11 * x = 55/1 * 11/5

x = 605/5

x = 121

Answer: The number is 121.

Simplify -4(3-1)+2 <br><br>​
nikdorinn [45]

To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First we have parentheses.

-4(3 - 1) + 2

3 - 1 = 2

-4(2) + 2

We have no exponents so go on to multiplication

-4(2) + 2

-4 * 2 = -8

-8 + 2

No division so go to addition

-8 + 2

When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number  (disregarding the signs). In this case the largest number is 8 and its sign is negative. Your answer will have a negative sign.

-6

Hope this helped!

Use the graph to write a linear function that relates y to x .
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

2y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph, we can see from one point to the next (from right to left), the x-value rises by 2 and the y-value by 1;

From this we can work out the gradient between two points using the formula, i.e. the change/difference in y divided by the change/difference in x:

m = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}

Joining the points gives a straight line, which means a constant gradient of ¹/₂

Use the line equation formula to get the function:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = ¹/₂

x₁ = 0

y₁ = 1

y - 1 = ¹/₂.(x - 0)

y - 1 = ¹/₂.x

2y - 2 = x

2y = x + 2
