Answer:
An object that isn't moving isn't going to move unless some other force acts upon it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Does this work?
Answer:
x = the first mystery number = 2
y = the second mystery number = 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = the first mystery number
y = the second mystery number
8*x + 10*y = 24
8x + 10y = 24
7*x + 10*y = 26
7x + 10y = 26
8x + 10y = 24 (1)
7x + 10y = 26 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate y
8x - 7x = 26 - 24
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into (1)
8x + 10y = 24 (1)
8(2) + 10y = 24
16 + 10y = 24
10y = 24 - 16
10y = 8
y = 8/10
y = 0.8
x = the first mystery number = 2
y = the second mystery number = 0.8
Slope is 3
3/1
Rise3 and 1 to the right called run
First find the slope of the given line like this:

If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope, so the equation we are looking for is in the form:

and we have to find b using the given point like this:
Substitute x = -2 and y=4 in the above equation like this and solve for a:
The equation of the line is then the following:
Length of the rectangular patio = 12 1/2 feet
= 25/2 feet
Area of the rectangular patio = 103 1/8 square feet
= 825/8 square feet
Let us assume the width of the rectangular patio = x feet
Then
Area of the rectangular patio = Length * Width
825/8 = (25/2) * x
25x/2 = 825/8
25x = (825 * 2)/8 feet
25x = 825/4 feet
x = 825/(4 * 25) feet
= 33/4 feet
= 8 1/4 feet
So the width of the rectangular patio is 8 1/4 feet. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
