$\text{Given that,}\\\\y = -2x+4\\\\\text{Plug y= 0 to find the x-intercept,}\\\\0 = -2x +4\\\\\implies 2x = 4\\\\\implies x = \dfrac 42 = 2\\\\\text{So the x - intercept is (2,0)} \\ \\\text{Plug x =0 to find the y-intercept.}\\\\y = -2(0) +4 = 0 +4 = 4\\\\\text{So the y - intercept is (0,4)} \\$

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice it's width,

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Area = 1500 feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. This means the perimeter of the rectangular garden =170 feet

Let length = x

Let width = w

The length of the garden,x is 10 feet more than twice it's width, w. This means

x =10+2w---------1

Perimeter = 2x+2w =170---------2

Putting equation 1 in equation 2,

2(10+2w) +2w= 170

20 + 4w +2w = 170

6w = 170-20=150

w = 150/6

= 25feet

Put w=25 in equation 1

x =10 +2×25= 10+50=60 feet

Area = length × width = x×w

= 60×25=1500feet^2

The sum of a number and 8 is 15

kodGreya [7K]

You mean, what is this number?

we can rephrase it like this: the sum of a number x and 8 is 15

which is:

x+8=15

we subtract 8 from both sides and we get
x=7

so the answer is 7.
