Area = Length x Width
so, 88 = (something) x 8
Can you work out the something using mental math?
The answer is g you just have to combine the Like terms
So here are the rules of horizontal asymptotes:
- Degree of Numerator > Degree of Denominator: No horizontal asymptote
- Degree of Numerator = Degree of Denominator:

- Degree of Numerator < Degree of Denominator: y = 0
Looking at the rational function, since the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1 (and 2 > 1), this means that <u>this function has no horizontal asymptote.</u>
First you solve for y.
5x+ y= 12 so Y= 12-5x
And plug it into the next equation
3x- 3(12-5x) = 18
Distribute
3x-36+15x=18
Add 36 to both sides
3x+ 15x= 54
18x= 54 ... divide
x= 3
And you can plug in x to solve for Y
5(3) + y = 12
15+ y = 12 ...subtract 15 from both sides
y= -3
