Answer:

20 feet wide, 24 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x - width, y - length.

The perimeter is given by the formula:

P = 2*(width + length) or using x, y

P = 2*(x + y) = 88

x + y = 44

And we know that the ratio between the sides is 5/6:

x/y = 5/6. x is on top because the length is bigger than the width

x = 5y/6

Plug this in the first expression:

y + 5y/6 = 44. Muliply by 6

6y + 5y = 264

11y = 264

y = 264/11 = 24.

So x = 5(24)/6  = 20

Convert the following into slope-intercept form. 3x+4y=-16
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

y = -3/4x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=-16

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 3x from each side

3x -3x+4y=-3x-16

4y = -3x-16

Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = -3x/4 - 16/4

y = -3/4x -4

If a bus travels 20 km in 30 minutes. What is the average speed of the bus?
sattari [20]
<span>So we need to find the average speed of the bus that travels 20 km in 30 minutes. Average speed is defined as: Average speed=distance travelled/time taken or: v=s/t. We know s=20 km and t=30 minutes=0.5h. So after we input our numbers in the equation, we get: v=20km/0.5h=40km/h. So the correct answer is C) 40km/h.</span>

3x−12≥15<br><br> 2x−5≤9<br><br> 5x+8≤53<br><br> 3x−5≥16
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 3x−12≥15

3x ≥ 15 + 12

3x ≥ 27

or x≥ 9

B) 2x−5≤9

2x ≤ 9 +5

2x ≤ 14

or x ≤ 7

C) 5x+8≤53

5x ≤ 53 -8

5x ≤ 45

or x ≤ 9

D) 3x−5≥16

3x ≥ 16 + 5

3x ≥ 21

or x ≥ 7

Have a good day!
