Assume that the length of the rectangle is "l" and that the width is "w".
We are given that:
(1) The length is one more than twice the base. This means that:
l = 2w + 1 .......> equation I
(2) The perimeter is 92 cm. This means that:
92 = 2(l+w) ...........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II to get the width as follows:
92 = 2(l+w)
92 = 2(2w+1+w)
92/2 = 3w + 1
46 = 3w + 1
3w = 46-1 = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15
Substitute with w in equation I to get the length as follows:
l = 2w + 1
l = 2(15) + 1
l = 30 + 1 = 31
Based on the above calculations:
length of base = 31 cm
width of base = 15 cm
The line equation for its slope and one point is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m is the slope, x1, y1 are the point coordinates, so lets substitute:
y - 4 = (1/2)(x - 2)
y = <span>(1/2)x + 3</span>
Answer:
84.4 gallons to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average usage = miles travelled / gallons used so:
6.3 = 532 / gallons used
Gallons used = 532 / 6.3
= 84.44.
Answer:
(-1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve using substitution, you have to know the value of either x or y. in this example, they gave you the value of y already: y=x+4.
this means you can substitute the y for (x+4). if we substitute y for (x+4) in the equation y=-5x-2, we get this:
(x+4)=-5x-2
then solve for x
6x=-6
so x=-1
since we know the x value, we can solve for y
y=x+4
y=-1+4
y=3
so the final answer is (-1, 3)
