Answer:
Expand the following expression
(3x+1)(x-4) = 3x^2-12x+x-4
middle term = -11x
Answer: y=3x-8, y=5x-8, and y=2x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
These equations are all lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where b is the y-intercept). y=3x-8, y=5x-8, and y=2x-8 all have -8 as the b value. Therefore, these equations have the same y-intercept.
Okay so we need to figure out the width of the swimming pool using the length, and we know the width is 10 ft shorter than twice the width. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to first do 35-10, and then divide it in half. That gives us 12.5. To check our work I'll do the problem 12.5+12.5+10=35.
The width of the swimming pool is 12.5 ft.
