- 1 7/8

---------------

We need to borrow from the 3

Take 1 from the 3 and make it 8/8

 2 (1/8+8/8)

- 1 (7/8)

---------------------

2 (9/8)

- 1 (7/8)

---------------------

1  2/8

The perimeter of a building is 900 feet. If the length of the building is 400 feet, find the width. How many lights will be need
Helen [10]

Answer:

The width of the building is 50 lamps and 60 lamps will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is computed by the sum of the sides of the building, since the length and width are equal on the oposite sides of the building, the perimeter is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

900 = 2*(400) + 2*width

2*width + 800 = 900

2*width = 900 - 800

2*width = 100

width = 100/2 = 50 feets

To know how many lights bulbs will be needed we need to take the perimeter of the building and divide it by the space between the lamps. We have:

number o lamps = 900/15 = 60 lamps

What is the slope of the line 6x + y = 24?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get it in Point-Slope form, or

y = mx + b

Isolate y by subtracting 6x

You are left with:

y = -6x + 24

M is the slope, so in this case, it is -6

Solve for X <br><br>Explain if possible :)
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The two labeled angles are alternate interior angles, and as such, they are the same.

From this result you can build the equation

15x-2 = 13x+2

and solve it for x: subtract 13x from both sides to get

2x-2=2

and add 2 to both sides to get

2x = 4 \implies x = 2

Check: if we plug the value we found we have

13\cdot 2 + 2 = 26+2 = 28 = 15\cdot 2 - 2 = 30-2

So the angles are actually the same, as requested.
