Answer:
y=9/2x-11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2y=11-9x
y=11-9x/-2
y=9/2x-11/2
3a + b = 54
Substitute b for 9
3a + 9 = 54
Subtract 9 to both sides
3a = 45
Divide 3 to both sides
a = 15

Answer: 14x - 8</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
I'll use the quadratic formula to find the roots or x intercepts. This slight detour allows us to factor without having to use guess-and-check methods.
The equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c = 0
This leads to...

Now use those roots to form these steps

Refer to the zero product property for more info.
Therefore, the original expression factors fully to (4x-5)(3x+1)
Use the FOIL rule to expand it out and you should get 12x^2-11x-5 again.
----------------------------------------------
We did that factoring so we could find the side lengths of the rectangle.
I'm using the fact that area = length*width
- L = length = 4x-5
- W = width = 3x+1
The order of length and width doesn't matter.
From here, we can then compute the perimeter of the rectangle
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(4x-5+3x+1)
P = 2(7x-4)
P = 14x - 8
Answer:
y = 10 -2x; 10 is the length of the trail
Step-by-step explanation:
Jordan's remaining distance starts at 10 miles, and decreases 2 miles each hour:
y = -2x +10
The y-intercept is the length of the trail.
Answer:
87.5 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
when you have to increase a number by 50 percent you are multiplying it by 1.5
later when you increase the number by 25 percent you multiply it by 1.25
you can multiply 1.5 by 1.25 to get your answer
1.5 * 1.25 is 1.875
so the percent increase is 87.5 percent
