Answer:

L =80

w=60

Step-by-step explanation:

P =280

L =w +20

=>L +w=280 :2 =140

w+20+w=140

2w=140 - 20

2w =120

w=120 :2 =60

L=60 +20 =80

P =2L +2w

P =2 ×80 +2 ×60

P=160 +120

P=280

Answer:

L = 80    ,   w=60

Step-by-step explanation:

l= w+20

perimeter: l+w+l+w=280

Plug in the value of L in place of L

(w+20)+w+(w+20)+w=280

Combine Like terms

and then separate the variables and knowns by subracting 40 from both sides

4w+40=280

     -40   -40

Divide by 4 from both sides so (W) would be alone

4w=240

÷4     ÷4

You solved half the question now

               w = 60

Remember the L at the top

we now know the value of W

so

L=(60)+20

L=80

<u>just to be sure </u>

80+80+60+60=280

you are welcome

Building a is 271 meters taller than building
kvv77 [185]

Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).

... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b

... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211

Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.

... 2b - (b+271) = 211

... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271

... a = b +271 = 753

Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{2}{3} and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) ← in point- slope form
