Answer:

Inequality : 4x+8 < 120

x<28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Perimeter of a rectangle (P)= 2 length +2 width

Where:

Width = x

Length = x+4

Replacing with the values given

P = 2 (x+4) + 2x

P = 2x+8+2x

P=4x+8

Since the perimeter of the rectangle must be less than 120:

4x+8 < 120

Solving for x

4x<120-8

4x<112

x<112/4

x<28

If ƒ(x) = -5n + 1 and g(x) = -6n + 2, find (ƒ + g)(-2).

Stels [109]

(f+g) (n) = (–5n +1 ) + (- 6n +2) = –11n +3

(f+g) (n) = –11n +3

(f+g) (–2) = – 11 (–2) +3 = 22 +3 = 25

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,7) and is perpendicular to the line

Temka [501]

The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$6x+y=3\\y= -6x+3$

The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.

Let m1 be the slope of given line

and

m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line

Then

$m_1=-6$

Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

$m_1*m_2 = -1\\-6*m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{-1}{-6}\\m_2=\frac{1}6}$

The equation of new line can be written as:

$y=m_2x+b\\$

Putting m2

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+b$

To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation

$7=\frac{1}{6}(-6)+b\\7=-1+b\\b=7+1\\b=8$

Putting the values of b and m in general equation

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$
