We can set up the width a X and, from the description the length would be 3X-1. The perimeter of a rectangle is determined by 2XL + 2Xw. Plugging into the equation 2(3X-1) + 2(X) = 118. Next distribute to get 6X-2 + 2X = 118. Combine like terms to get 8X = 120. Divide by 8 to get X = 15. The width is 15. The length is 3(15)-1 or 44. 88 +30 = 118

Find the equation of the line using the exact numbers
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.25x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:

(0,-6);(4,-7)

The general equation for a line:

y = m*x + n

The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:

1. -6 = m*0 + n

2. -7 = m*4 + n

You can read off n right away fro equation 1:

n = -6

Plugging n into equation 2:

-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4

the 90 members of a service Club had the opportunity to vote for a club officers on Tuesday or Wednesday 3/5 of the members vote
oee [108]
For this problem, it is really important to find who voted on Tuesday first.
90×(3/5)= 54 
54 people voted on Tuesday. Since the people who voted on Wednesday was 1/4 of the members who did not vote on Tuesday.
90-54=36×(1/4)=9
9 people voted on Wednesday. Now add Tuesday and Wednesday together to find the ones that didn't vote.
54+9=63;90-63=27
27 people did not vote at all.
