The length of a rectangle is three times as long as its width. The width of this rectangle is 6 inches smaller than its length.

Find the length and the width. (It would also be interesting to know its area and perimeter!)

Answer:

The length is 9in and the width is 3in

The perimeter is 24in and the area is 27in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to make 2 equations with the information that gave us the problem

l = length

w = width

w = l - 6in

l = 3w

we replace l in the first equation with (3w)

w = (3w) - 6in

w - 3w = -6in

-2w = -6in

w = -6in / (-2)

w = 3in

now we replace the value of w in the second equation

l = 3w

l = 3 (3in)

l = 9in

Now that we have the length and width we can calculate the perimeter and the area with the following formulas

p = perimeter

a = area

p = 2w + 2h

p = 2(3in) + 2(9in)

p = 6in + 18in

p = 24in

a = w * l

a = 3in * 9in

a = 27in²

1.2x-4y=28 solve for y
Gnesinka [82]
2x -4y= 28
⇒ -4y= 28 -2x
⇒ y= (28 -2x)/ (-4)
⇒ y= 28/(-4) -(2x)/ (-4)
⇒ y= -7 + 1/2x

The final answer is y= -7 + 1/2x~

Graph the equation: x = y^2 - 2
Lesechka [4]
Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get 
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)

for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y 
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)

then plot the points on the graph
