First, you want to establish your equations.
L=7W-2
P=60
This is what we already know. To find the width, we have to plug in what we know into P=2(L+W), our equation to find perimeter.
60=2(7W-2+W)
Now that we only have 1 variable, we can solve.
First, distribute the 2.
60=14W-4+2W
Next, combine like terms.
60=16W-4
Then, add four to both sides.
64=16W
Lastly, divide both sides by 16
W=4
To find the length, we plug in our width.
7W-2
7(4)-2
28-2
L=26

Answer:
100 yards of fabric
Step-by-step explanation:
12 divided by 3 = 4 yards of fabric per costume
4 x 25 = 100 yards of fabric
Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Find the difference in y
7 - 3 = 4
→ Find the difference in x
9 - 1 = 8
→ Divide the results
4 ÷ 8 = 0.5
