Answer:
The answer to your question is: width = 3 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Perimeter = 16 meters
The room is 2 meters longer than its width, then length = width + 2
Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width
16 = 2(width + 2) + 2 width
16 = 2 width + 4 + 2 width
16 = 4 width +4
16 - 4 = 4 width
12 = 4 width
12/4 = width
3 = width
length = 3 + 2 = 5 meters
Answer: The slope is 2 -Please mark brainliest
1. Find the X and Y values of each point
X1: 1
X2: -1
Y1: 3
Y2: -1
2. Subtract X1 from X2 and Y1 from Y2
Y: -1-3=-4
X: -1-1=-2
3. Divide the X value by the Y value
-4/-2=2
The slope of the line shown on the coordinate plane is 2.
this is what would make sence for me
the frist one was confusing
To solve with Elimination:
Write the equations under one another, like this:
2x - y = -1
+ 3x + 4y = 26
Ideally, we would like for one of the variables to be eliminated when we add vertically (straight down). But if we add them as they are this does not happen. We must manipulate one of the equations so that it will happen. Again, you can try to eliminate either x or y. I always look for a term that has a coefficient of 1 (or negative 1). So, let's use that y from the first equation again.
If the coefficient of the y in the other equation is POSITIVE 4, then I need the coefficient from the first equation to be its opposite, NEGATIVE 4. To do this, simply multiply the first equation by 4, this will create MAGIC!
4( 2x - y = -1)
+ 3x + 4y = 26
Be certain to Distribute across the entire first equation, so multiply all three terms by 4.
8x - 4y = -4
+ 3x + 4y = 26
Now add straight down (vertically). The y term will be eliminated.
11x = 22
Divide both sides of the equation by 11.
x = 2
Almost there! Now, substitute the 2 in for x in either of the original equations. Either one will work. I'm gonna use the second equation.
3x + 4y = 26
3(2) + 4y = 26
6 + 4y = 26
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.
4y = 20
Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
y = 5
That's it! There it is again. Put it all together. If x = 2 and y = 5, then the solution is the ordered pair, (2,5).
