Yea, -7 is the correct answer
Answer:
gallons = dependent
minutes = independent
Step-by-step explanation:
independent variable = the variable being manipulated/changed
dependent variable = the variable being changed as a result
gallons = dependent (of the minutes of running water)
minutes = independent (affecting the gallons)
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the points
and
.
We know that the
-coordinates of both are
.
So let's first solve:

Subtract 3 on both sides:

Simplify:

I'm going to use the quadratic formula,
, to solve.
We must first compare to the quadratic equation,
.






Since the distance between the points
and
is horizontal. We know this because they share the same
.This means we just need to find the positive difference between the
-values we found for the points of
and
.
So that is, the distance between
and
is:




If we compare this to
, we should see that:
.
So
.
Answer:
The dimensions are 6 by 5 feet.
Length = 6 feet.
Width = 5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length = L
Let the width = W
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
L = 2W - 4 ........equation 1
22 = 2L + 2W .......equation 2
Substituting the value of "L" into equation 2, we have;
22 = 2(2W - 4) + 2W
22 = 4W - 8 + 2W
22 + 8 = 6W
30 = 6W
W = 30/6
Width, W = 5 feet.
To find the length, L
Substituting the value of "W" into equation 1, we have;
L = 2W - 4
L = 2(5) - 4
L = 10-4
Length, L =6 feet
Therefore, the dimensions of the garden are 6 by 5 feet.
