make the equation slope-intercept form:

subtract 2x from both sides:

4y = -2x + 12

divide by 4 to get y by itself:

y = -1/2x + 3

to make the new line perpendicular to the existing line, completely flip the slope of the line:

y = 2x + 3

A rectangular box is 32 cm wide and 36 cm high. If the surface area of the box is 4344 square centimeters, find the length of t

AnnZ [28]

To find the surface area, multiply length x width x height.

let "length" = l

l x 32 x 36 = 4344

Simplify

l x (32 x 36) = 4344

l x 1152 = 4344

Isolate the length. Divide 1152 from both sides

(l x 1152)/1152 = (4344)/1152

l = 4344/1152

l = 3.77 (rounded)

3.77 cm is your length.

In an 18-meter race between a tortoise and a hare, the tortoise leaves 23 minutes before the hare. The hare, by running at an av

seropon [69]

We know that:
time=distance/speed
if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min
18/x=23+18/(x+1/120)
solving for x we get:
x=0.08 m/min
speed of hare is:
(0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min
