Answer:

Width = 10.2 inches

Length = 37.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at it this way:

length = l

width = w

2l + 2w = 96

l = 4w - 3

substitute.

2(4w - 3) + 2w = 96

Solve for w.

8w - 6 + 2w = 96

10w = 102

w = 10.2

10.2 * 4 = 40.8

40.8 - 3 = 37.8

l = 37.8

Eliminate y's
multiply second equaiton by 4
4x+4y=-4

add to first equation

3x-4y=-24
<u>4x+4y=-4 +</u>
7x+0y=-28

7x=-28
divide both sides by 7
x=-4
sub back

x+y=-1
-4+y=-1
add 4 to both sides
y=3

What is the point-slope form of the equation for the line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (4,-6)
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y + 6 = -2 (x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope formula is represented by the equation y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). When knowing a point a line crosses through and its slope, you can write an equation in this form. Substitute the m, x_1, and y_1 for real values.

The m represents the slope of the line. Since we know the slope is -2, substitute -2 for m. The x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of the point the line passes through. Since the line passes through (4, -6), substitute 4 for x_1 and -6 for y_1. This gives the following answer and equation:

y-(-6) = -2 (x - (4))\\y + 6 = -2 (x-4)

In ΔLMN, the measure of ∠N=90°, the measure of ∠M=17°, and MN = 20 feet. Find the length of LM to the nearest tenth of a foot.
andrey2020 [161]
20.9 ft
This is a right triangle trigonometry question because N is 90 degrees. MN is adjacent to M and LM is the hypotenuse. Adjacent any hypotenuse use the cosine function. 
cos \theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}
plug in known values
cos(17) = \frac{20}{x}
switch cos(20) and x using the products property
x = \frac{20}{cos(17)}
plug into calculator to get 20.9 ft
