Pierre ran 19 and 13/20 miles.
Given:
marathon length : 26 2/10 miles
pierre's length ran : 3/4 of the way.
Multiply the fractions.
Convert the marathon length from a mixed fraction into a fraction.
26 2/10 = ((26*10)+2)/10 = (260+2)/10 = 262/10
262/10 * 3/4 = (262*3) / (10*4) = 786/40 = 19 26/40
19 26/40 simplified to 19 13/20 miles
26 ÷ 2 = 13
40 ÷ 2 = 20
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

5 feet. </span>
<span>(9t-4)(-9t-4)
using the FOIL :
9t * -9t = -81 t^2
9t * -4 = -36 t
-4 * -9t = 36 t
-4 * -4 = 16
-----------------------add up and simplify

The equation written in slope-intercept form is y = (1/3)x -9
<h3>What is a linear Equation ?</h3>
A linear equation is that which can be represented in the form of y =mx +c , m is the slope and c is the intercept.
The given equation is
y+6 = 1/3(x-9)
To determine the slope and the intercept this equation needs to be solved
y+6 = (1/3)x - 3
y = (1/3)x -9
Therefore this is the slope intercept format , here
the slope = 1/3
intercept = -9
