Hello!
To solve this, lets put it into a system of equations where w=width and L=length.
2w+2L=80
L-8=w
To solve, we see that w=L-8. We can substitute this in the first equation to find L and then w.
2(L-8)+2L=80
2L-16+2L=80
4L-16+80
4L-16=80
4L=96
L=24
Now that we know L=24, we can find w. 24-8=16. Now we know that L=24 and w=16.
Lets check our answer. In our original system of equations, we have 48+32=80, which is true, and 24-8=16. Also, the perimeter must equal 80. 16+16+24+24=80.
As our final answer, the width of the pool is 16 feet, and the length is 24 feet.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
1. y=-x-3 2.y=1/3x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3x+3y=-9
3y=-3x-9
y=-x-3
2. x-3y=12
-3y=-x+12
y=1/3x-4
Answer:
The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C. For example, 2x+3y=5 is a linear equation in standard form. When an equation is given in this form, it's pretty easy to find both intercepts (x and y). This form is also very useful when solving systems of two linear equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.
In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.
The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.
Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
