X+y=11
x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y
sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3
sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8
the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
F(-7) = -7 - 10
f(-7) = -17
Hope I helped!

The equation for finding the hypotneus of a right triangle is

so we know that 4²+b²=5²
so that would simplify as 16+b=25
so x=25-16
which is 9
so therefore we can conclude that
