Answer: 26 13/30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The hall is in the shape of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

= 2(length + width)

= 2l + 2w

Since perimeter = 71 2/3 ft and Width = 9 2/5 ft wide, the length will be calculated thus:

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

71⅔ = 2l + 2(9 2/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + (2 × 47/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + 94/5

71 2/3 = 2l + 18 4/5

Collect like terms

2l = 71 2/3 - 18 4/5

2l = 71 10/15 - 18 12/15

2l = 52 13/15

l = (52 13/15 ÷ 2)

l = 793/15 × 1/2

l = 793/30

l = 26 13/30

Therefore, the length is 26 13/30ft

Two linear equations are given below.
gladu [14]

Answer: You can't answer this, but here are some guidelines

Step-by-step explanation:

I would love to answer this question (coming from someone who has already completed algebra keystones) but I need to know what the linear equations are before I can. If the functions are reciprocals of one another (the slope is the opposite and the fraction is switched) it is a perpendicular line which means one solution.  If the slope is the same but the intercept is different (using y=mx+b) so if b is different but m is the same they are parallel and there is no solution. If they are the same line (same equation) there is infinite solutions. If this doesn't help I would suggest finding graph paper and trying it out and seeing the intersection points.

4. Determine the following difference. (2x² + 3x - 10) - (x² - x + 111)  please explain
SIZIF [17.4K]
Hi there! The answer is A.

(2x² + 3x - 10) - (x² - x + 111) 
Let's solve this problem step by step!

First work out the parenthesis. Because we multiply by negative 1, we mustn't forget to change the symbols in front of the factors.
2x² + 3x - 10 - x² + x - 111

Now rearrange our expression, in order to collect the terms later.
2x² - x² + x + 3x - 10 - 111

And finally collect the terms.
x² + 4x -121

The answer is A.
