We have to mutiply factor -2/3 times every agument from the parenthesis.

/+8b
8+6b=-4 /-8
6b=-12 /:6
b=-2 - its the answer
Answer:
5 km
Step-by-step explanation:
It helps to draw a diagram.
The triangle between Stamford, Newport, and Amanda's house is a right triangle with one leg of length 12 and hypotenuse 13. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the remaining leg:
13² = 12² + (distance to Newport)²
169 -144 = (distance to Newport)²
√25 = 5 = distance to Newport
Newport is 5 km from Amanda's house.
_____
It can be useful to remember this right triangle. 5-12-13 right triangles show up in a number of algebra and geometry problems.
Required area = lb + 2 × h ( l + b)
= 4 × 3 + 2 × 7 (4 + 3)
= 12 + 14 × 7 = 12 + 98 = 110 m²
Cost of white-washing at the rate of $6/m²
= $ 110 × 6 = $ 660
You need to know the slope and the y intercept
