Answer:

Length = 22 feet Width= 8.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 61

Let Width= x

Length= 2x+5

Perimeter= 2l + 2w

61= 2(2x+5) + 2x

61 = 2(2x+5+x)

61/2 = 3x+5

30.5 -5 = 3x

25.5 = 3x

25.5/3 =x

x= 8.5

Hence, width = 8.5 feet

Then, the length = 2x+5 = 2(8.5) +5 = 22 feet

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4x + 5y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 20

5y = -4x + 20 (Subtract 4x to isolate 5y. Put the 4x in front of the 20)

y = $-\frac{4}{5}x$ + 4 (Divide all by 5 to isolate y)

And then it's done and in slope-intercept form

$-1< -\frac{4}{5} < 0$ or $-\frac{4}{5}$ is greater than -1 but less than 0

I hope this helped :)
