Answer:

Tristan is 18 feet below the surface. or Tristans depth is -18ft

Step-by-step explanation:

if Nick is -33 depth and Tristan is 15 feet above him, then you d

-33+15 = -18

so Tristan must be at -18 depth

Explain how u subtract 247 from 538

VashaNatasha [74]

247- 538 = -291
If you line them up in that order 247 you'll have to borrow. Your answer would be -291
-538

The only way to not get -291 is to flip the two numbers.

Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p

zalisa [80]

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

Statement 1: "The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

$Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3$

------

Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"

$Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y$

------

Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."

$Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\$

------

Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."

$Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\$

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

$178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y$
