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.

Find the approximate distance between (-5, 8) and (10, -7). Round your answer to two decimal places.
nadya68 [22]
Distance formula : d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(-5,8)(10,-7)

d = sqrt (10 - (-5)^2 + (-7 - 8)^2
d = sqrt (10 + 5)^2 + (- 15^2)
d = sqrt (15^2) + (-15^2)
d = sqrt 225 + 225
d = sqrt 450
d = 21.21
