Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance from points (5,-18) and (8,-17) is 3 because it is 3 units from 5 to 8. The vertical distance is 1 since it is one unit from -18 to -17. Now we can use the equation 
where a=3 and b=1 and c is the distance that you are looking for:
Answer:
3/5 or
0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
You could change these fractions to decimals, but you may not be convinced that the answer you get is the same as just using fractions. I'll start by using fractions.
x - 2/5 = 1/5 Add 2/5 to both sides
x - 2/5 + 2/5 = 1/5 + 2/5 The left side cancels to 0.
x = 1/5 + 2/5 The denominators (bottom the fraction) are the same. Just add the tops.
x = (1 + 2)/5
x = 3/5
=======================
If you use your calculator to find 2/5 and 1/5, you can get the same answer as 3/5
2
÷
5
=
0.4
By the same method, 1/5 = 0.2
Substitute into the original equation
x - 0.4 = 0.2 Add 0.4 to both sides
x - 0.4 +0.4 = 0.2 + 0.4 The left side reduces just to x
x = 0.2 +0.4
x = 0.6
If you let your calculator do the work, like this
3
÷
5
=
0.6
The answers are the same.
A=8ft^2
A=l•w
8=l•w
l=8/w
P=2(l+w)
12=2(8/w+w)
12=2(8/w+w/1)
12=2(8/w+w^2/w)
12=16w^2/w
12=16w
w=12/16
w=3/4=0.75ft
l=8/0.75=10.67ft
I would use subsitution
y=x-7
sub x-7 for every x
5x+2(x-7)=14
5x+2x-14=14
add 14 to both sides
7x=28
divide both sides by 7
x=4
sub
y=x-7
y=4-7
y=-3
x=4
y=-3
(4,-3)
The ordered pair (-1,5) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.
1) x+y=4
2) x-y=-6
1) -1 + 5 = 4
5-1 = 4 you can switch the order to make it easier to understand
so
4 = 4
2) -1 - 5 = -6
-1 + -5 = -6 you can change the sign in the middle and make y -
so
-6 = -6
