Answer:
4x + 8y = 17
Solve for y.
You want to get y on one side of the equal sign by itself so... you subtract 4x from both sides to get:
8y = -4x + 17
Then you divide both sides by 8 to get:
y= -4x/8 +17/8
Then simplify the fractions to get:
y = -2x/4 + 17/8

Answer:
Total length of the first swing=64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;
Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing
where;
Total length of all 4 swings=175 m
Length of first swing=x
Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x
Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing
Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x
Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing
Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x
replacing;
Total length of all 4 swings
175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x
2.734375 x=175
x=175/2.734375
x=64
Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
