Answer:

Area = 27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = 9 feet

Length = 1/3 times width

= 1/3 (9)

= 3 feet

Length = 3 feet

Width = 9 feet

Area = Length times Width

Area = 3 x 9

Area = 27 feet

26) Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick.

Dahasolnce [82]

Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick

Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M

The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48

Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:

H + M = 48

3M + M = 48

4M = 48

M = 12

Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.

4x + 2(x + 8) = -19+ x

Likurg_2 [28]

4x + 2(x + 8) = -19 + x

4x + 2x + 16 = -19 + x

6x + 16 = -19 + x

6x + 35 = x

-5x = 35

x = -7

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1)

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line, meaning if the slope of the other line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ , then the slope of the line perpendicular is $3$ .

Knowing this, we can start to construct the equation for the line:

$y = mx + b$

$y = 3x + b$

To solve for $b$ , we plug in the coordinates of the point that we know the line runs through, $(2, 1)$ :

$y = 3x + b$

$1 = 3(2) + b$

$1 = 6 + b$

$b = -5$

Therefore, the slope of the line that is perpendicular ot the line provided in the equation is the following:

$y = 3x - 5$
