Answer:
9.
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have to find the area of the triangle which is 1/2(bh) which would give you 9. So you would 9 feet of outdoor carpet. Which is actually already given to you as the area inside the triangle.
1. combine like terms (2x and -7x) to create -5x
2. subtract 5 from each side to create: -5x=10
3. divide both sides by -5
4. x=-2
Answer:
A. y - 7 = -4(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Insert the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Remember, in the Point-Slope Formula, <em>y</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>₁</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>(</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>₁</em><em>)</em><em>,</em><em> </em>all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE term of what they really are.
Let's the length to be x,
then the width is 8x - 2.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2*Width + 2*Length
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(8x-2) + 2x = 16x - 4 + 2x = 18x - 4
Ar the same time, Perimeter of the rectangle = 88.
So, we can write
18x - 4 = 88
18x = 84
9x=42
x= 42/9 cm (length) or ≈ 4.67 cm (length)
8x - 2 = 8*42/9 - 2 ≈ 35.33 cm (width)
