These are the equations:
2L+2W=58
L=W+5
Now plug in the second one in the first one:
2(W+5)+2W=58
4W+10=58
4W=48
W=12
L=17

Jackson is playing a game of chance where he must randomly draw a marble out of a jar. He calculates the probability of drawing
Sindrei [870]

Using complementary events, considering a \frac{1}{4} probability of drawing a red marble, the probability of not drawing a red marble is of \frac{3}{4}.

<h3>What are complementary events?</h3>

They are mutually exclusive events which have the sum of their probabilities as 1.

In this problem, we consider that there is a \frac{1}{4} probability of drawing a red marble, and since drawing a red marble and drawing a non-red marble are complementary events, we have that:

\frac{1}{4} + p = 1

p = \frac{3}{4}

The probability of not drawing a red marble is of \frac{3}{4}.

Doug’s family buys 7 postcards while on vacation. Each postcard costs 0.25$ including tax. How can Doug use the number line to f
larisa [96]

Answer: Total cost is $1.75

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of postcards bought by Doug's family= 7

Cost of each postcard including tax = $0.25

Total cost is given by

7\times 0.25=\$1.75

Now, we want to show this in number line :

On the number line put all the number with a difference of 0.25 and run the number line seven times and we get the answer.

Each step is of length 0.25 and there are 7 jumps to reach required answer.

So, after 7 jumps we reach at 1.75 which is the required answer.

Hence total cost is $1.75

Write an equation for the perpendicular line to the line whose equation is 4y-5x=20 that contains the point (-2,-3)
yuradex [85]

Answer:

4x + 5y = - 23

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 4y - 5x = 20 into this form

add 5x to both sides

4y = 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by 4 )

y = \frac{5}{4} x + 5 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = \frac{5}{4}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m}, hence

m_{perpendicular} = - 1 / \frac{5}{4} = - \frac{4}{5}

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 2, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = \frac{8}{5} + c ⇒ c = - \frac{23}{5}

y = - \frac{4}{5} x - \frac{23}{5} ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 5

5y = - 4x - 23 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 5y = - 23 ← in standard form
