whats the figure? I need the background knowledge
There are two ways for finding p, here is one way:
1/2 = 4p
Multiply both sides by 2:
1 = 8p
Divide both sides by 8:
0.125 = p
Answer:
p = 0.125
Hope it helped :)
Explanation
Answer:
The carpenter can build the triangular frame by cutting the 12 foot piece by 2foot
Y=3x-5
y-3x=-5
Times 2 from both side
y(2)-3x(2)=-5(2)
2y-6x=-10
Times negative from both side
(-)2y-6x(-)=(-)-10
-2y+6x=10
or
6x-2y=10
6x=2y+10
6x-2y=10
Furthermore, we see that both equation have the same 6x-2y=10 which means that both of them have infinity solutions, not a solution. Hope it help!
Here's what I got for the first question.
Did you want answers for the second one? I couldn't read that part of the image very well, if you did.
