Answer: y=2x+17
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The length of the long side is 147 ft
The length of the short side is 30 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
L=5s-3
s= 324-2L
324=2(5s-3)+s
distribute
324=10s-6+s
simplify
324=11s-6
add 6 to both sides
330=11s
divide by 11
30=s
Plug in the s value to determine the length of the long side
Answer:
x = 11/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses, add 16x, subtract 21.
7(3 -x) = 8(4 -2x) . . . . given
21 -7x = 32 -16x . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
9x +21 = 32 . . . . . . . . add 16x
9x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21
x = 11/9 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
Answer:
35 mi²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's subdivide the figure, as shown.
The lower part is a rectangle whose area is (5 mi)(18 mi) = 90 mi².
The upper part is a trapezoid whose area is found by averaging the length and multiplying the result by the width (8 mi - 5 mi), or 3 mi.
Area of trapezoid:
12 mi + 18 mi
------------------------ = 15 mi Width of trapezoid = 3 mi
2
Thus, the area of the trapezoid is (3 mi)(15 mi) = 45 mi²
and the total area of the entire figure is
45 mi² + 90 mi² = 135 mi²
