Alright, so we know that the race is 5 kilometers, so the equation will be 5-<some value>= <distance from finish line>. We also know that the student runs a kilometer every three minutes, so 3x=1km . Multiplying both sides by 5, we get 15y=5km (y being the number to make the equation make sense, or the slope). When the student has run 5km, the distance from the student to the finish line should be 0, so we get that 5-5=0, and plugging 15y in for 5 we get 5-15y=0. For 15x to equal 5, 3y=1 and y=1/3. Therefore, we plug that in for y, getting 5-15(1/3)=0. However, we have to make it for all times! Since 15 represents the minutes, we make that x, and since 0 represents the distance remaining, we make that the distance remaining, making it 5-(1/3)x=distance left. You can also think of y as the slope in y=mx+b - it stays constant that way.

Length of rectangle is 1 unit
<u>Solution:
</u>
Given that
Length of a rectangle is width minus 8 units.
Area of rectangle = 9 square units
Need to calculate the length of rectangle.
Let us assume width of rectangle = x
As Length is width minus 8,
Length of the rectangle = x – 8
As given that area of rectangle = 9 square units
On solving above quadratic equation for x, we get
When
When
As width cannot be negative, so considering x = 9
Hence, Length of rectangle is 1 unit.
8 inches = 1/8 of the real height of the book shelf
Multiply 8 by 8 because the question shows 1/8 of the book shelf
8x8=64
The book shelf is 64 inches.
Or 5 feet and 4 inches.
