The length of a rectangle is 5 units longer than its width. if the perimeter must be at least 34 units, what are the possible lengths is the rectangle

w ≥ 6

l ≥ 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to P = 2l+2w where l=length and w=width. Here the length is 5 feet longer than the width or 5+w. This means the width is w. Substitute P = 34, l=5+w and w into the perimeter equation. Then solve for w.

34 ≤ 2*(5+w) + 2w

34 ≤ 10+2w+2w

34 ≤ 10+4w

24 ≤ 4w

6 ≤ w

This means the width must be at least 6 so the solution is w ≥ 6.

To find the length substitute 6 into l ≤ 5+w.

l ≤ 5 + 6

l ≤ 11

The length is l ≥ 11.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
