Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) "The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width." This can be written in a math sentence as  

L = 2W + 3

 where "twice the width" is 2W and "three more" is just adding 3.

 2) "Perimeter is 36 inches". Recall the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

 P = 2W + 2L

  set the formula to 36 and that gives us our second equation: 36 = 2W + L

then use substitution do solve

Write an equation for each linear function described. Show your work. The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1),
svp [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

As

  • The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and
  • y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.

so

x             y

2             1

3             5

4             9

5             13

6             17

and so on

From the table:

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:5\right)

m=\frac{5-1}{3-2}

m=4

As the slope-intercept form of the line is

y=mx+b

putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.

1=\left(4\right)2+b

8+b=1

8+b-8=1-8

b=-7

So putting b=-7 and m=4  in the slope-intercept form of the line

y=\left(4\right)x+\left(-7\right)

y=4x-7

Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:

y=4x-7

I need help with this question I’ll give 15 points
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Calculating (5 x 2) violates the order of operations

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the order of operations, multiplies all have equal priority. Therefore, they must be evaluated left to right, not right to left. Evaluating (5 x 2) first is incorrect, and instead (9 x 5) should be calculated first.
