Katie is 32 years old
add 5 to 11 and multiply 16 by 2 to get 32
Answer:
17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:
perimeter = XZ +WZ +WX
The figure shows us WX = WZ, so we can rewrite the formula as ...
perimeter = XZ +2·WZ
Filling in the given values, this becomes ...
50 = 15 + 2·WZ
35 = 2·WZ
35/2 = WZ = 17.5
The length of WZ is 17.5 units.
Answer:o
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = # of 25-cent stamps
y = # of 2-cent stamps
{ x+ y = 88
{ 0.25x + 0.02y = 15.56
60 25-cent stamps 28 2-cent stamps
Step 1: Find the slope:
This gives you 
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:
It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
