Answer:

The equation that can be used to find the width is 2(13 + w) = 42

The width of the rectangle is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where l is its length and w is its width

∵ One rectangle has a length of 13 inches

∴ l = 13 inches

∵ Its perimeter is 42 inches

∴ P = 42 inches

- Substitute the values of l and P in the formula of the perimeter

∵ 42 = 2(13 + w)

The equation that can be used to find the width is 2(13 + w) = 42

To find W divide both sides by 2

∴ 21 = 13 + w

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 8 = w

The width of the rectangle is 8 inches

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 12, negative 2) and (0, negative 4). A point is at (0, 6).

mariarad [96]

Point (-12 , 8) is on the line that passes through (0, 6) and is parallel to the given line ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have:

Same slopes
Different y-intercepts

The formula of the slope of a line which passes through points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∵ The given line passes through points (-12 , -2) and (0 , -4)

∴ $x_{1}$ = -12 , $x_{2}$ = 0

∴ $y_{1}$ = -2 , $y_{2}$ = -4

- Use the formula of the slope above to find the slope of the given line

∵ $m=\frac{-4-(-2)}{0-(-12)}=\frac{-4+2}{12}=\frac{-2}{12}=\frac{-1}{6}$

∴ The slope of the given line is $\frac{-1}{6}$

∵ The two lines are parallel

∴ Their slopes are equal

∴ The slope of the parallel line = $\frac{-1}{6}$

∵ The parallel line passes through point (0 , 6)

- The form of the linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope

and b is the y-intercept (y when x = 0)

∵ m = $\frac{-1}{6}$ and b = 6

∴ The equation of the parallel line is y = $\frac{-1}{6}$ x + 6

Let us check which point is on the line by substitute the x in the equation by the x-coordinate of each point to find y, if y is equal the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the line

Point (-12 , 8)

∵ x = -12 and y = 8

∵ y = $\frac{-1}{6}$ (-12) + 6

∴ y = 2 + 6 = 8

- The value of y is equal the y-coordinate of the point

∴ Point (-12 , 8) is on the line

Point (-12 , 8) is on the line that passes through (0, 6) and is parallel to the given line

Find a value for y for which the expression (1-y)(3-y)(6-y) has each given value

erik [133]

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow (1-y)(3-y)(6-y)=-70$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow -y(1+1)(3+1)(6+1)=-70$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow y(2)(4)(7)=70$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow y(56)=70$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow y=\dfrac{70}{56}$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow y=\dfrac{5}{4}$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow (1-y)(3-y)(6-y)=120$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow -y(1+1)(3+1)(6+1)=120$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow -y(2)(4)(7)=120$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow 56y=-120$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow y=\dfrac{-120}{56}$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow y=\dfrac{-15}{7}$
