We can say L as length and W as the width 

L= 3w + 8 

The formula for perimeter is 2L + 2W = P. We can substitute L in as "3w+8" to make the equation... 

2(3w+8)+2w=88        Now, we can simplify by distributing the 2 to each term
6w+16+2w=88
8w+16=88               Then subtract 16 from each side..
8w=72
w=9

So the width is 9, so we can substitue that into the previous equation, L = 3w+8. 

L=3(9)+8
L=27+8
L=35, W=9

The curvature of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Width of the arch = 105 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Function representing the width of the arch,

f(x) = -0.016(x - 52.5)² + 45

where x = width of the base of the arch or horizontal distance from arch's left end

f(x) = vertical distance of the arch

From the given quadratic function, vertex of the parabola is (52.5, 45).

Coordinates of the vertex represents,

Height of the arch = 45 m

Half of the horizontal distance from the left end = 52.5 m

Therefore, width of the bridge = 2(Half the width of the bridge from left end) = 2×52.5

= 105 m

Therefore, given bridge is 105 m wide.

Solve using elimination.<br> 4x + y = -5<br> 8x + 3y = -19<br> Plz I need help
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(1, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y = -5

8x + 3y = -19

If we have to use elimination, that means we're going to add or subtract these two whole equations by each other so that we can cancel out one of the variables.

I think that we could easily turn 4x into 8x if we multiply the top equation by 2.

4x + y = -5 ---> 8x + 2y = -10

Now put them next to each other, and subtract to get rid of the xs.

  8x + 2y = -10

-  8x + 3y = -19

------------------------

  0x - y = -10 - -19

  -y = 9

   y = -9

Plug this back in to get x.

  4x + y = -5

  4x - 9 = -5

  4x = -5 - -9

  4x = 4

  x = 1
