Answer:
- sides: 12 feet
- front: 28 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of one side of the yard. Then the width of the yard is 2x+4, and the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L +W) . . . . . . . . . . formula for perimeter of a rectangle
80 = 2(x + (2x+4)) . . . . . with values from the problem filled in
40 = 3x +4 . . . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms
36 = 3x . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
12 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3. This is the length of the side fence.
2x +4 = 2(12) +4 = 28
The fence is 12 feet on the sides and 28 feet on the front. (Its total length is 52 feet.)
Answer:
<h2>x = 2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
3 - x + 1 = 2 <em>combine like terms</em>
-x + (3 + 1) = 2
-x + 4 = 2 <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>
-x +4 - 4 = 2 - 4
-x = -2 <em>change the signs</em>
x = 2
Start at (0, 72), then (1, 64), (2, 56), ETC. I hope you see the pattern! Do it until you reach (9, 0)
Answer:
-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates.
Here, the given ordered pairs are (-6, -8) and (-14, 4), so the slope is:
slope = m = (4 - (-8)) / (-14 - (-6)) = 12 / (-8) = -3/2
The answer is thus -3/2.
