I’m failing math help pls

Step-by-step explanation:

L and W are the length and width of the flag.

"The perimeter of the flag is 500 feet"

2L + 2W = 500

L+W = 250

"The length is 30 feet greater than the width"

L = W+30

You have a system of two equations:

L+W = 250

L  = W+30

Substitute W+30 for L:

(W+30) + W = 250

2W + 30 = 250

2W = 220

W = 110 ft

L = W+30 = 140 ft

"C is 400 miles longer than D"

C = D+400

"The sum of their lengths is 5,580 miles"

C + D = 5,580

You have a system of two equations:

C = D+400

C + D = 5,580

Substitute D+400 for C:

(D+400) + D = 5,580

2D + 400 = 5,580

D = 2,590 miles

C = D+400 = 2,990

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.
