X+y=11
x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y
sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3
sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8
the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
Answer:
F. (0, 5) and (-4, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the slope of each of the given sets of points until we find the set associated with a slope of 3/4:
F. (0,5) and (-4,2) As we go from (-4, 2) to (0,5), x increases by 4 and y increases by 3, so the slope is m = rise / run = 3/4. This is the line with slope 3/4.
We can't use P = 2L + 2W because the sides have different lengths.
P = a + b + c + d
a = x
b = 2x
c = 2x - 2
d = x + 5
P = x + 2x + (2x - 2) + (x + 5)
P = <u>x + 2x + 2x</u> - 2 <u>+ x</u> + 5
P = 6x + 3
if x = 4:
P = 6 · 4 + 3
P = 24 + 3
P = 27
