The coordinates to the second spot can be represented by the coordinates
(-12 + 3, 8 -11)
Since we are going 3 yards to the east we would be affecting the x-axis and since we are going east we will need to add 3 yards the x axis of the first spot
11 yards south would be affecting the y- axis negatively. We would need to subtract 11 from the y- axis of the first spot.
the coordinates of the second spot would be
-12 +3 = -9
8 -11 = -3
(-9, -3)
1/8 of 3 is 24. So he had 24 books in all.
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. So we can set up an equation:
Now solve for 'x', combine like terms:
When it comes to terms with variables it's just like normal addition but we keep the variable:
So we have:
Add:
Subtract 7x to both sides:
Subtract 4 to both sides:
Divide 5 to both sides:
Answer:
y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2+2/2-1
y=4
