Answer:
W = 4.95
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to start by writing down what you know, and forming a system of equations.
L= length W= width
2L+2W=14.7
L= 2.4
On the left side of the equation, you're adding all your side lengths, and on the right, is the total perimeter. (Also could be written L+L+W+W = 14.7)
You would then substitute L from the bottom equation into the top equation to get:
2(2.4) +2W=14.7
Solving:
4.8+2w=14.7
W= 4.95
To check your answer simply add all the sides together and make sure it equals your perimeter. You can also plug W and L back into the original equation.
Answer:
n = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2n - 5 = 31
Add 5 to each side
2n - 5+5 = 31+5
2n = 36
Divide each side by 2
2n/2 = 36/2
n = 18
In slope intercept form this would be equal to y=-7x-8. (remember the 7 is negative!)
The answer is 28.2 because 479.4 ft. ÷ 17 ft. = 28.2 ft.
