<em>b</em><em> </em>for <em>books</em><em> </em>read. b=1x + 1. the amount of months he's been in the club goes for x and +1 because he already read a book before he joined. if you do easy math, he's been there for 8 months because he read 9 books. i probably got the equation backwards but this works both ways imo.
1.) top row: 100 200 300 400 500 600. Bottom row: 5 10 15 20 25 30
2. Each ratio is just the top row divided by the bottom row. So the second thing in the ratio would be 200/10, the third one 300/15, etc. Each ratio is equal to 20.
3.) if x is gallons of gas used, y is distance driven. the equation that describes this relationship is y=20x.
Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)
Private jet's speed = x
Equation:
10(x) = 8(2x-162)
10x = 16x - 1296
6x = 1296
x = 216 (Private jet's speed)
Take the first equation and plug x value in;
2x-162
2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)
Answer:
The length of the longest side is 13mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the two sides with a and b, where a is the longest


Required
Determine the length of the longest side
Perimeter of a kite is calculated as thus:

Make b the subject in 

Substitute a - 1 for b and 50 for Perimeter in 

Divide through by 2


Add 1 to both sides



Solve for a


<em>Hence, the length of the longest side is 13mm</em>
