Let the width of the shortboard is x and the width of the longboard is y.

Then, 3x = 4.5 + 2y.

Or, 3x - 2y = 4.5

If y = 11.25, then,

3x - 2(11.25) = 4.5

3x - 22.5 = 4.5

3x = 4.5 + 22.5

= 27

x = 9

Hence, one of the possible solution is width of the shortboard is 9 inches and the width of the longboard is 11.25 inches.

The point slope form of a straight line is y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y -(-3) = -7(x-5)

y + 3 = -7(x-5)

y = -7x + 35 - 3

y = -7x + 32

96 + 2w = 160 - 6w
        + 6w           + 6w
96 + 8w  = 160
 - 96              -96
8w = 64

At 2pm the level of the water in the pool was 10 feet. At 6pm the level of water was 2 feet. Find the constant rate of the water
adelina 88 [10]
Assuming that the pool was drained at a constant rate, the speed at which it was drained can be expressed as a function of time. In this case, the pool level will be expressed in feet per hour.

The time changed by 4 hours (6-2), and the level of the pool changed by -8 feet (2-10). Diving the feet by the hours to get the rate of decreasing depth, we find that the rate equals -2 feet/hour.
