Answer: v=-81.92
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both parts of the equation by 8:
Let the length of rectangle be L and the width of rectangle be W.
Since length exceeds the width by 25 inches, length will be
L = W + 25
Now the perimeter, P, is given by
P = 2(L + W)
Substituting L = W + 25 in the above equation,
P = 2(W + 25 + W)
P = 2(2W + 25)
P = 4W + 50
But P = 86 inches
P = 4W + 50 = 86
4W = 86 - 50 = 36
W = 36/4 = 9
Hence, width W = 9 inches.
Length L = W + 25 = 9 + 25 = 34 inches.
This is a linear equation y = mx, where:
m= slope or reading rate:
x = the number of minutes
y = the number of pages read.
So the equation becomes: y = 4.5.x
How many minutes it will take to read 90 pages (y):
90 = 4.5.x or x = 90/4.5 and x = 20 minutes
So the ordered pair will be (20,90)
