Since there are 6 students with neither brown hair nor blue eyes, the remaining number of students with at least one of the characteristic is 24. The sum of the students with brown hair only, with blue eyes only, and with both should be equal to 24. By letting x be the number of students with both, the equation that would best represent the given is,
                            (15 - x) + x + (17 - x) = 24
 The value of x from the equation is 8.

ms Callahan is building a new dog pen for her dog. she has 24feet of fencing. the pen needs to be a rectangle. what is the lengt
NeX [460]
If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet.  The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure.  The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w.  In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.

So, the formula is P=2l+2w.  P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w.  Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w.  If the length is 1, l=1.  24=(2*1)+2w.  24=2+2w.  22=2w.  w=11.  So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.

What if l=2?  24=(2*2)+2w.  24=4+2w.  2w=20.  w=10.  If l=2, w=10.  And l=3?  24=(2*3)+2w.  24=6+2w.  18=2w.  w=9.  If l=3, w=9.  Do you see a pattern?  Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w.  So if l=4, w=8.  If l=5, w=7.  If l=6, w=6.  Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5.  If l=8, w=4.  Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width.  So, our answers are below.

Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Equation of a line passing through point (x1, y1) with slope m is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1/2(x - 6)
2(y - 2) = -(x - 6)
2y - 4 = -x + 6
x + 2y = 6 + 4
x + 2y = 10
