Let L be the length and W be the width. The equations that represents the given conditions are,
 (1)                      L = W + 3
 (2)                    A  = (L - 1) x (W - 1) = 150
                         A = (W + 3 - 1) x (W - 1) = 150
The value of W is 11.8389 in. The width is therefore, 11.8389 in and the length is 14.8389 in.

What is the rate of change in y per unit change in x for the function 30x+5y=15
ad-work [718]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer you have to put it into y=mx+b format.

This means that it will be 5y=-30x+15

So it will simplify to y=-6x+3

This means that:

If y=2

You substitute then…

2=-6x+3

So x would equal 1/6.

How to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line<br> please help me!!!!!!!
stepan [7]

Answer:

Sweetie, it's easy. Let me explain.

The slope formula is (y2 - y1) (x2 - x1) you find the slope by putting the rise over the run. For example, if the point goes up 2 and right 3 your slope would be (2,3) and let's just say your next coordinate is (4,5) you would take the y, 5, from the second coordinate and subtract it by the y from the first coordinate, 3. So you would have 2 and you do the same with the x values. So your slope would be 3/2. Hope I helped at all.

The perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is 28 in and the ratio of lengths of its bases is 5:3. Find the lengths of the sides of
Natalka [10]
The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Let x = length of base and leg

The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base

       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
     28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
    2.8 = x

Now, substitute the values:
       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
     28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
     28 = 28

Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches
