Answer:

length=4

width=30

Step-by-step explanation:

length=x

width=8x-2

(8x-2)*2+2x=68

16x-4+2x=68

18x=72

x=4 (Length)

4*8=32, 32-2=30(width)

Answer:

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I am glad I can help you with this.

Step one

define the equations

the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter=2*length+2*width

Let

Perimeter (P)

length(L)

Width(W)

P=2L+2W

68=2L+2W,equation (1)

The width of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 8 times the length, in other words, you can take the width and add 2 cm to find 8 times the length,in mathematical terms it is

W+2=8L, isolating W

W=8L-2,equation (2)

Step two

use equation (1) and equation (2) to find L and W

replace W from equation (2) into equation (1)

68=2L+2(8L-2)

68=2L+16L-4

68=18L-4

isolating L

68+4=18L

72/18=L

L=4 cm

replace the value of L in equation (2)

W=8L-2

W=8(4 )-2

W=32-2

W=30 cm

Hence,

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Have a good day.

Y = 1/2x - 4 Slope: X-intercept: Y-intercept:​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Slope = \frac{1}{2} , X-intercept = 8 , Y-intercept  = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

the following equation is given in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

since m = \frac{1}{2} and b = -4, we can say our slope is \frac{1}{2} and y intercept is -4.

Recall that x intercept occurs when y = 0 so plug y = 0 in the equation then solve for x

0 = \frac{1}{2}x - 4

add 4 to both sides,

4 = \frac{1}{2}x

multiply by 2 on both sides,

4*2 = x

8 = x

x = 8

so our x-intercept is 8

Write an equation of the line that passes through
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y = - 8x + 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line given a point and slope we use the formula

y - y _{1} = m(x - x _1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is

(1/2,4) and slope m = -8

The equation of the line is

y - 4 =  - 8(x -  \frac{1}{2} ) \\ y - 4 =  - 8x + 4 \\ y =  - 8x + 4 + 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = - 8x + 8</h3>

Hope this helps you
