9514 1404 393

Answer:

  927 ft

  914 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths are half the sum plus or minus half the difference:

  1841/2 ± 13/2 = {1854/2, 1828/2} = {927, 914} . . . feet

__

Let x represent the shorter length. Then x+13 is the longer length. Their total is ..

  x +(x +13) = 1841

  2x = 1841 -13

  x = (1841 -13)/2 . . . . half the sum minus half the difference

Then the longer length is ...

  x+13 = (1841/2) -(13/2) +13

  x +13 = (1841/2) +(13/2) . . . . half the sum plus half the difference

Which of these can be the graph of the equation y=mx+b
Lostsunrise [7]

See the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Your figures are missing, so I could help you in a general way. The Slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by the form:

y=mx+b \\ \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ b=y-intercept

Case 1:

m>0

If the slope is positive, we will have a line as the form illustrated in figure 1. So as x increases y also increases.

Case 2:

m

If the slope is negative, we will have a line as the form illustrated in figure 2. So as x increases y decreases.

Case 3:

m=0

If the slope is zero, we will have a line as the form illustrated in figure 3. here we have a constant function.

Case 4:

m: undefined

If the slope is undefined, we will have a line as the form illustrated in figure 4.

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation 8x - 1/3y = 15?
Flura [38]

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 1/3y to both sides

8x - 1/3y (+1/3y) = 15 (+1/3y)

8x = 15 + 1/3y

Divide 8 from both sides

(8x)/8 = (15 + 1/3y)/8

x = 15/8 + 1/24y

x = 1/24y + 1.875

x = 1/24y + 1.875 is your answer

hope this helps
