Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.

Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:

p = 2l + 2w

60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w

60 = 2w + 28 + 2w

60 = 4w + 28

32 = 4w

8 = w

So, the width is 8 inches

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (-4, 4) in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
Yuri [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

first step is to find the gradient of the line which "m" on the equation

gradient formula is y2 - y1 ÷ x2 - x1 = -½ as shown on the picture we substituted those points given

2nd step is to substitute on the equation y=mx+c

m= -½

y= 3 (you can choose any from those given points but in my case I chose point A)

x= -2

c= ? only unknown variable so we can can calculate it

substitute as shown on the picture to get c= 2

therefore our equation of the line will be y= -½x+2

The first step in determining the solution to the system of equations, y = -x2 - 4x - 3 and y = 2x + 5, algebraically is to set
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Combine like terms onto one side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

You have

-x^2  -4x  - 3  = 2x + 5

It seems that we should combine like terms to make this equations smaller.

-x^2 - 4x - 3  - 2x  - 5 = 0

-x^2  -6x  - 8 = 0

- (x + 2)(x + 4) = 0

x = -2  or  x  = -4
