A pool measuring 18 meters by 30 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width, as shown in the figure. If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1564 square meters, what is the width of the path?

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

shell's the art director at her local community center. she paid $10 and for each child that attends she earns $4.

for each child she ears $4 that is the slope m = 4

she paid $10, that is the initial amount paid. so 10 is the y intercept b

m =4   and b = 10

y intercept is 10 so the point is (0,10)

we start graph from y intercept (0,10)

slope = 4 . we know slope = rise / run

slope = 4   or 4/1   are same

rise = 4   and run = 1

for rise we move 4 units up and for run we move 1 unit to the right

the graph is attached below

x axis is the number of child she attends

y axis is the amount   she earns
