Quadrant lll, you go -3 on the x-axis, and then -4 on the y-axis, placing you in the third quadrant.
Divide total length by 3.
=17 1/2 ÷ 3
convert to improper fraction
= 35/2 ÷ 3
multiply by reciprocal of 3
= 35/2 * 1/3
= 35/6
= 5 5/6
ANSWER:
Each piece should be 5 5/6 inches.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given system:
- x + 4y = -8
- -1/4x + y = -1
1. Multiply the second equation by - 4 to get:
- (- 4)(-1/4x + y ) = (- 4)(- 1)
- x - 4y = 4
2. Now, add this up with the first equation:
- x + 4y + x - 4y = - 8 + 4
- 2x = - 4
- x = - 2
3. Find the value of y:
- - 2 + y = - 8
- y = - 8 + 2
- y = - 6
The solution is (- 2, - 6)
Answer:
3.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the frame is 3 times the width.
Let the width be x.
The length will be 3x.
Kyle uses 10 feet of wood to make the frame. This means that the perimeter is 10 feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2(L + W)
=> 10 = 2(3x + x)
=> 10/2 = 4x
5 = 4x
=> x = 5/4 = 1.25 feet
The width is 1.25 feet. The length is therefore:
1.25 * 3 = 3.75 feet
