of the border?

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can answer this question by using the equation

(8+x)(7+x)=110

The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.

If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0

This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0

This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.

Maru [420]

Answer:

Not Sure Without Slope

Step-by-step explanation:

you could use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)(point slope form) where m is the slope, y1 is the first y point and x1 is the first x point.

For example if a line has slope 3 and passes through the points (5, 6), then the formula you would solve is y-6=3(x-5) to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form and you should know what to do with everything else.

Write an equation of the circle with center (-7,4) and radius 11.
olga_2 [115]

Answer: (x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 121  or  (x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 11^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 , which is the center (h,k) and the radius r^2

-Place the center (-7,4) and radius 11 onto that equation:

(x+7)^2+(y-4)^2=121 (if simplified radius needed)

or

(x+7)^2(y-4)^2=11^2

If the line in the graph is shifted up two units which is the equation of the new line
anastassius [24]

Answer:

f(x) + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

If we have say f(x) = x + 1 then 2 units will be added to f(x) when it is moved up 2 units.

So the equation of this line will be f(x) + 2 which in this example is

x + 1+ 2.

The new function is  x + 3.
