Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is 1.5 miles / day
slope intercept form is y=4/3x-2 slope is 4/3 and y=-2
You wanna write an equation to find out what the two lengths will be. Because the string in 17 feet the equation has to equal 17. Then for the shorter length you need to symbolize it with a variable (x). For the longer side it is the smaller number plus five(x+5).
Therefore, the equation is x+(x+5)=17
from there you get x= 6ft which leaves the longer side equaling 11ft
No, it should not give exactly the right amount because numbers will have to be rounded because US dollars only go to the hundredths place making the final number slightly different than the exact value would be.
