The value of x is 7 and the lengths of the sides are 16, 11 and 8

<h3>How to determine the values of x and each side?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

The perimeter is calculated as:

P = 3x - 5 + 2x-3 + 15 - x

Evaluate

P = 4x + 7

The perimeter is 35.

So, we have

4x + 7 = 35

This gives

4x = 28

Divide by 4

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 in 3x - 5, 2x-3 and 15 - x

3x - 5 = 3* 7 - 5 =16

2x-3 = 2* 7 - 3 = 11

15 - x= 15 - 7 = 8

Hence, the value of x is 7 and the lengths of the sides are 16, 11 and 8

Answer:

X=24, Y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the concept of similarity.

By observing the figure, we notice that the hypotenuse is 50, and the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 25.

That means the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is double the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle. Meaning, the other sides of the larger triangle would be double the smaller sides of the smaller triangle.

We already have the sides of the larger triangle, divide them by two to get x and y.

X = 48/2 = 24

Y = 14/2 = 7

A pair of alacks retails for $45.00 if their price is increased by 15% what is the New price?

pychu [463]

Given:

A pair of alacks retails for $45.00 if their price is increased by 15%.

Required:

what is the New price?

Explanation:

We know the retail price $45.00

Increment of 15% on price is

$\begin{gathered} =45\times\frac{15}{100} \\ =\frac{675}{100} \\ =6.75 \end{gathered}$

So, total price after 15% increment is 45 + 6.75 = 51.75

Answer:

The new price is $51.75
