Answer:

$\frac{23}{21} feets$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

Sally started with two feets of cloth.

Total cloth = $2 feets$

She used $\frac{1}{3}$ of a foot of the cloth to make a pillow cover.

And another $\frac{4}{7}$ of a foot of the cloth to make a table cloth.

She used total cloth to make a pillow cover and table cloth = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{4}{7}$

$=\frac{7+12}{21} \\=\frac{19}{21}$

Total used cloth by Sally = $\frac{19}{21}$

The equation for remaining cloth

remaining cloth = total cloth - used cloth

remaining cloth $= 2 - \frac{19}{21}$

remaining cloth $= \frac{2\times 21-19}{21}$

remaining cloth $= \frac{42-19}{21}$

remaining cloth $= \frac{23}{21}$

Sally has remaining cloth = $\frac{23}{21}$ feets

35. For the following exercises, given each set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-2,8) and $(4,6), is written in the point-slope form as $y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{26}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-2,8) and (4,6).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-2,8) and (4,6). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute $6 \& 8$ for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and 4&-2 for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows, $m=\frac{6-8}{4-(-2)}$

$\begin{aligned}&m=\frac{-2}{6} \\&m=-\frac{1}{3}\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 3

Write the linear equation in point-slope form.

A linear equation in point slope form is given as,

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ for m,-2 for $x_{1}$ , and 8 for $y_{1}$ in the above equation and simplify using the distributive property as follows, $y-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-2))$\\ $y-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$\\ $y-8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}$$

Step 3 of 3

Simplify the equation further.

Add 8 on each side of the equation $y-8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}$ , and simplify as follows, $y-8+8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}+8$

$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2+24}{3}$$\\ $$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{26}{3}$$

This is the required linear equation.

What is the value of n? n–2=10n+4/2 n =

slamgirl [31]

simplify

n-2 = 10n/2 + 4/2

n-2 = 5n + 2

subtract 5n to both sides

n - 2 - 5n = 5n + 2 - 5n

simplify

-4n - 2 = 2

add 2 to both sides

-4n - 2 + 2 = 2 + 2

simplify

-4n = 4

divide both sides by -4

-4n/-4 = 4/-4

simplify

n = -1

hope it helps

What is the area of triangle pqr on the grid? a triangle pqr is shown on a grid. the vertex p is on ordered pair 7 and 6, vertex

horsena [70]

P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)

We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,

b = 7 - 1 = 6

The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4

The area is $\frac 1 2 bh = \frac 1 2 (6)(4) = 12$

Answer: 12 square units

In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:

(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)

(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)

The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:

$A = \frac 1 2 | 7(6)-6(1) + 1(2)-6(4) + 4(6)-2(7) | = \frac 1 2 |24| = 12$
