set up an equation for the perimeter

l = length w = width

2l + 2w = 64

set up another equation as you know the length is 3 times the width

w = 3l

subsitute w = 3l into the 2l + 2w = 64

2l + 2(3l) = 64

solve for l

2l + 6l = 64

8l = 64

<em><u>length</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>8</u></em>

subsitute into w = 3l

w = 3(8)

<em><u>width</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>4</u></em>

One die is blue and the other die is yellow. Both are rolled. What is the probability of getting the shm of 8?
suter [353]

Answer:

5 /36

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

Number of faces^number of dice = 6^2 = 36

Sum of 8 on a roll of 2 dies :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = number of times a sum of 8 is obtained on a roll of 2 dies = 5

Total possible outcomes = sample space = 36

P(obtaining a sum of 8) = 5 /36

This is what I am supposed to do, I’m confused on what to do on 3,4, and 5. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!! 30 POINTS!!!!!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

3

Using (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = \frac{6-0}{-3-0} = \frac{6}{-3} = - 2

Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0) then y- intercept is 0

y = - 2x ← equation of line

4

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3)

m = \frac{3-0}{0-6} = \frac{3}{-6} = - \frac{1}{2}

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 3 ← equation of line

5

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (-2, - 3)

m = \frac{-3-3}{-2-0} = \frac{-6}{-2} = 3

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line
