C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be a, b and c.
<h3>Given</h3>
The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side
The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:
The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:
<h3>Solution</h3>
Substitute a with b in the second equation:
- c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5
Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:
- 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
- 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
- 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
- 7b = 21
- b = 3
Find the value of a:
- a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Find the value of c:
- c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
The sides of the triangle are:
- a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides. Since one side is 14 cm, then all sides are 14 cm. You multiply 4 by 3 and you get your answer.
14*3=42. The perimeter is 42cm.
Answer:
One solution
Step-by-step explanation:
They have isolated y for you in both equations so you can plug either one into the other.
y = 3x - 1
2x + 7 = 3x - 1
isolate the x
7 = x - 1
x = 8
Go back to the original and plug 8 into x to get y.
y = 2 (8) + 7
y = 16 + 7
y = 23
This means at (8, 23) y = 2x+7 is equal to y = 3x-1. In other words they share a point at (8, 23). This is the only solution because for any other x and y they'd not be equal.
If they all lined up and held hands, the line will be 6 billion meter apart.
