The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
l = length
w = width
In this problem,
w = x
l = x + 30
the perimeter = 148
Let's plug our values into the perimeter formula above.
148ft = 2(x + x + 30ft)
Combine like terms.
148ft = 2(2x + 30ft)
Distribute the 2
148ft = 4x + 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
88ft = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
22ft = x
The width = x = 22ft
The length = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52ft
The answer is 3x because 3 can go into all of those numbers as well as x
First, solve for the slope. This can be found by looking at the y and x intercepts. At x = 0, y = 1.5. At x = 2, y = 0.
Slope is defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in x. This means that in order to calculate the slope, you must find the difference between the values of y and divide it by the difference in the values of x for the two points to determine the slope between them.
(0 - 1.5)/(2-0) = (-1.5)/2 = -0.75 or -3/4
Now that you have the slope, we can write the equation in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope we calculated and b is the y intercept, 1.5.
y = (-3/4)x + 1.5
