Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P= 2(L) + 2(w)

1504= 2(525) + 2(w)

1540= 1050 + 2(w)

1540 - 1050= 2(w)

490 = 2(w)

490/2 = w

245 = w

w is y

L is 525

Answer:

227 feet            

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this the first thing to think about is the formula for perimeter. Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides of a shape. The perimeter of a rectangle is P=2 l+ 2w. <em>l</em> is the length of the rectangle and <em>w </em>is the width of the rectangle. There is a 2 in front of both those values in the formula because if you visualize a rectangle, there are 2 sides that have the the same measurement for both <em>l </em>and <em>w</em>. To find the width of the rectangle, you have to plug in 525 for <em>l.</em>

  1. <em />1504=2(525)+ 2w<em> </em>
  2. <em />1504= 1050 + 2w<em> </em>
  3. Now we combine like terms. To do this, we subtract 1050 from both sides: 454= 2w
  4. Now we isolate <em>w </em>by dividing by 2: 227=w

So the width equals 227 feet

Write a function in the form y=mx+b for the line that contains the points (-6.4, -2.6) and (5.2, 9)
allsm [11]
First solve for the slope, m using the two points given. It doesn't matter which point you choose as point 1 or 2 as long as you're consistent.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

point 1: (–6.4, –2.6)

point 2: (5.2, 9)

m = (9 - -2.6)/(5.2 - -6.4)
m = (9 + 2.6)/(5.2 + 6.4)
m = 11.6/11.6
m = 1

put the newly found slope into the linear equation for m

y = (1)x + b
y = x + b

Now solve for the y-intercept, b
by putting one of the given points

9 = 5.2 + b

b = 9 - 5.2
b = 3.8

final equation:

y = x + 3.8

Number 8 please can you write and equation
tigry1 [53]
8.5x + 55 = 123

You would use the formula: mx + b = y

The slope is the amount of money each day(mx),and the y-intercept would be the fee(b) and the total cost would be y.
