The formula for perimeter is P=2l+2w where P is perimeter, l is length and w is width. P=54 inches and l is 15 inches but we do not know the value of w. Let's replace the letters with their number
P=2l+2w
54=2(15)+2w
54=30+2w  let's group like terms or numbers that are similar. 54 and 30 have no letters attached to them and so are the similar. So let's move 30 to the right side. Since 30 is positive on the right side, subtract it from both sides of the equation.
54-30=30+2x-30
24=2w
24/2=2w/2
12=w Therefore the width is 12 inches.

Through: (-5, -3), perp. to y=-9/4x-5
Mrrafil [7]

Given:

A line passes through (-5,-3) and perpendicular to y=-\dfrac{9}{4}x-5.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

We have,

y=-\dfrac{9}{4}x-5

On comparing this equation with slope intercept form, i.e., y=mx+b, we get

m_2=-\dfrac{9}{4}

It means, slope of this line is -\dfrac{9}{4}.

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

m_1\times m_2=-1

m_1 \times \left(-\dfrac{9}{4}\right)=-1

m_1=\dfrac{4}{9}

Slope of required line is \dfrac{4}{9} and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where, m is slope.

y-(-3)=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-(-5))

y+3=\dfrac{4}{9}(x+5)

9(y+3)=4(x+5)

9y+27=4x+20

27-20=4x-9y

7=4x-9y

Therefore, the equation of required line is 4x-9y=7.

Write an equation that is parallel to y=-1/4x+2
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

y = -1/4 -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Any equation will be parallel to your base equation as long as the y intercept is different. To write a parallel equation, you just have to change the y intercept.

For example, I changed it from 2 to negative 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. If she takes (substance) $2.40 every times she forgets to do a chores you have to substance
  2. but first you have to multiply because she forgets 3 times
  3. 2.40 × 3 is 7.20
  4. but since she taking it away it would be negative

so your answer is -$7.20

I hope this helps

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1. $60

2. 600 Calories were burned

3. D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $75 x .20=$15

75-15=$60

2. What I started with is 200/40=5 calories burned per min

60 plus 60=120

5x120=600

3. It's the only option that has something decreasing. and there is a -5 which means it's getting subtracted or its decreasing.
