The slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have m = 3 and b = -3. Substitute:
<h3>y = 3x - 3</h3>
1. 7 + -10 = -3.
2. -3 + -8 = -11
3. 4 + -5 = -1
4. 2 + -6 = -4
(You basically need to add negative numbers to positive numbers in order to get negative numbers.)
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's call the length and width L and W respectively.
L=2W+8
2W+2L=124
We plug our value of L into the second equation and solve for W.
2W+2(2W+8)=124
We undo the parentheses with the distributive property.
2W+4W+16=124
Combine like terms.
6W+16=124
Subtract 16 from both sides.
6W=108
Divide both sides by 6.
W=18
We plug this W value into the first equation to solve for L.
L=2(18)+8
L=36+8
L=44
So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 18 feet.
Have a wonderful day! :D
