Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula is P = 2L + 2W. If the perimeter is given as 68 feet, then our P will be filled in with 68. If the length is "5 inches shorter than twice the width" is an expression that looks like this, keeping in mind that "shorter" means subtraction, "twice" means doubled, and the word "is" means equals:

L = "length is"

2W is "twice the width"

5 inches shorter is " - 5". Putting it all together:

L = 2W - 5. Now we can fill in the perimeter formula:

68 = 2W + 2(2W - 5) and

68 = 2W + 4W - 10 and

68 = 6W - 10 and

78 = 6W so

W = 13. The width is 13 inches and the length is

L = 2(13) - 5 so the length is

L = 21 inches.

50 POINTS! QUICKLY Are the pairs of variables x and y the solutions to the equation x^2–2y=7?
Fittoniya [83]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{(5,8) \text{ and } (1.2, -2.78)}}

We are given the equation:

x² - 2y = 7

To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:

1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7

25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.

2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7

1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.

3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7

16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.

4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7

1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.

Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,6) and (5, 3).<br> -3/2<br> 3/2<br> 2/3
Natalija [7]

Answer:

-3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we find the rise over run.

In this case, the rise is 6 - 3 = 3.

The run is 3 - 5 = -2.

The slope is 3 / (-2) = -3/2.

Hope this helps!
