W=x
L=2x+17
Double everything since we need to lengths and two widths to find the perimeter
2x+17+2x+17+x+x = 76
Combine like terms
6x+34=76
Solve for x
First step is subtract 34 from both sides
6x=42
Next you divide both sides by 6 in order to get x by itself
X=7
Now you plug in 7 into the x’s in length and width
W=7 cm
L=31 cm
THE WIDTH IS 31 CM
Check:
7+7+31+31 = 76 cm
It equals 76 cm just like the problem said so therefore it is right.

Answer:
9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.
It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.
_____
<em>Additional comments</em>
It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.
It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.
Answer:
9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Compare the slopes
therefore
An experienced skier would like the 9/10 hill slope because it is steeper, while the 1/10 is a softer slope.
Answer:
7/60
Step-by-step explanation:
U find the common denominator, subtract how you would with negative and postive integers, and check if you can simplify
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line can be seen as:
Rise over run is the change in the y values over the change in x values. For example, in this graph, you would start on one of the points given. From there, you would move up first. After moving up a certain number of spaces, you would move to the side until you reach the other point.
In the graph, you would move up until you are in line with one of the other points. Starting at (-4,5), move up one space, then to the left 4 spaces to reach the point (0,6). Using the spaces moved in the rise over run:
Therefore, the slope is 
.
This is true for any two points on the line.
:Done
*When you move up, the number will be positive 
. If you move down, the number will be negative 
. If you move left, the number will be positive 
. If you move right, the number will be negative 
. Keep this in mind. It is very important.
**Always <em>move along the y-axis first</em>, then move along the x-axis. If you do it the other way, the slope will be wrong.
