the perimeter of a rectangle parking lot is 322 m. if the length of the parking lot is 86 m, what is the width

1 answer:

4 0

Perimeter of rec. = 2 ( l + w )

Given: perimeter of rectangle = 322m, length = 86m

Required: width = ?

Solution: 322 = 2 ( 86 + w )
Divide 322 by 2 ie, 322/2 = 86 + w
Will be equal to 161 = 86 + w
Therefore Width= 161 - 86 = 75

There are 35 boys in the sixth grade. The number of girls in the sixth grade is 42. Lonnie says that means the ratio of the numb

Keith_Richards [23]

No, Lonnie is not correct because the correct answer is 5/6. If you do 35/42 divide both by 7, it'll be 5/6.

Which graph represents the solution to the given system ? Y=- 6X - 2Y +2=- 6X

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the first equation:

$y=- 6x - 2$

You can identify that:

$m=-6\\b=-2$

By definition, the line intersects the x-axis when $y=0$ . Then, subsituting this value into the equation and solving for "x", you get that the x-intercept is:

$0=- 6x - 2\\\\2=-6x\\\\x=-\frac{1}{3}\\\\x=-0.333$

Now you can graph it.

Solve for "y" from the second equation:

$y +2=- 6x\\\\y=-6x-2$

You can identify that:

$m=-6\\b=-2$

Notice that the slopes and the y-intercepts of the first line and the second line are equal; this means that they are exactly the same line and the System of equations has<u> Infinitely many solutions.</u>

See the graph attached.
