An artist wants to frame a square painting with an area of 400 square inches. she wants to know the length of the wood trim that is needed to go around the painting.
if x is the length of one side of the painting what equation can you set up to find the length of a side?

Find the equation of the line that goes through the points (4, –1) and (2, –5). use slope formula, equation, to find the slope of a line that passes through the points. m = use slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to find the y-intercept (b) of the line. b = write the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

7x+8y=-18, 4x-9y=-3 solve the system of equations

Asays "we are both knaves" and b says nothing. exercises 24–31 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by smullyan [sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. you encounter three people, a, b, and c. you know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. for each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, knight, and spy are. when there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions. 24. a says "c is the knave," b says, "a is the knight," and c says "i am the spy."
