Hey there! :)

3y + 2x = 12

To find the slope of this equation, we must turn this into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is very simply : y = mx + b ; where m = slope, b = y-intercept.

Our first step should be to subtract 2x from both sides.

3y + 2x - 2x = 12 - 2x

Simplify.

3y = -2x + 12

Then, divide both sides by 3 so that we could get y by itself (which is what we call isolated in the math world).

3y ÷ 3 = (-2x + 12) ÷ 3

Simplify.

y = -2/3x + 4

So, our slope is -2/3!

Can someone help me and show how to write the perimeter equation to find x.

Answer:

a) 10x + 8 = 21

b) x = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through point C.

That makes sides BC and CD congruent, and sides AB and ED congruent.

perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DE + EA

perimeter = 2x + 3 + x + 1 + x + 1 + 2x + 3 + 4x = 10x + 8

perimeter = 21

a) Equation:

10x + 8 = 21

10x = 13

x = 1.3

$\huge\boxed{243}$

___________________________________________________________

$\boxed{Explanation}$

So, we have the following equation...

$3^2*3^3=(?)$

Remember $3^2$ and $3^3$ is the following...

$3^2=3*3\\3^3=3*3*3$

Therefore, $3*3=9\\3*3*3=27\\9*27=243$

So, your final answer is $\boxed{243}$ .
