A rectangle has a perimeter of (20x+12y). If one side of the rectangle is (3x-4y), write the expression for the other side

(7x + 10y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this add (3x - 4y) to itself to calculate to lengths of the shorter sides.

(3x - 4y) + (3x - 4y) = 6x - 8y

Subtract this from (20x + 12y)

(20x + 12y) - (6x - 8y) = 14x + 20y     Divide this by two to get the length of one side

14x + 20y / 2 = 7x + 10y

b

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
