Answer: y=3/4x + 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Parallel lines must have the same slope, so you already know the equation must be something like y=3/4x+b. You are given a point that the line goes thru(2,2), so you can plug this point into the equation to solve for b.

(2)=3/4(2) + b

2=6/4 + b

2= 3/2 + b

b= 2-3/2

b=4/2- 3/2

b=1/2

so y=3/4x + 1/2

The perimeter of a rectangular park is 300 feet. The length of the park is 50 feet longer than the width.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W where L is the length and W is the width. If the length is 50 feet longer than the width, we can write the expression L=50+W. Substituting into P=2L+2W we get P=2(50+W)+2W=100+2W+2W=100+4W. Since P=300, we can say 300=100+4W. Subtracting 100 from each side we get 200=4W. Dividing each side by 4 gives 50=W. Substituting this into L=50+W gives L=50+35=85. The length is 85 feet.

Answer:

$ 154

Step-by-step explanation

Let the value of suitcase=x

x × 4.5% = 6.93 (converted the question into equation)

x × $\frac{4.5}{100}$ = 6.93 (converted the percentage into fraction)
