The sides are 2x, 3x-5 and 4x+2
perimiter is the sum of the sides

a.
2x+3x-5+4x+2=63 is an equation

b.
solve
group like terms
2x+3x+4x-5+2=65
add like terms
9x-3=65
add 3 to both sides
9x=68
divide both sides by 9
x=68/9


2x=2(68/9)=136/9 in
3x-5=3(68/9)-5=(68/3)-5=(68/3)-(15/3)=53/3
4x+2=4(68/9)+2=272/9+2=272/9+18/2=290/9

the side lengths are 136/9in, 53/3in, and 290/9in

The phone company A Fee and Fee has a monthly cellular plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee and then a certain amount o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

y=0.2x+29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

y is the total monthly of the A Fee and Fee plan.

x is the number of monthly minutes used.

  • If a customer uses 290 minutes, the monthly cost will be $87, we have the pair (290, 87)
  • If the customer uses 980 minutes, the monthly cost will be $225, this is the coordinate pair (980, 225).

We want to obtain an equation in the form: y=mx+b

First, let us determine the slope, m

Given points (290, 87) and (980, 225):

<u>Slope</u>

m=\dfrac{225-87}{980-290} =\dfrac{138}{690}=0.2

Next, we determine the y-intercept, b.

Substituting the pair (290, 87) and m=0.2 in y=mx+b, we obtain

87=0.2(290)+b

b=87-0.2(290)=29

Therefore, our equation in the form y=mx+b is:

y=0.2x+29

What function equation is represented by the graph?
Ahat [919]

In the given graph, lets mark two points:

Let A = (0,-3) and B = (4,-2)

The slope of the line is given by:

m = \frac{(-2)-(-3)}{(4)-(0)}

m = \frac{-2+3}{4}

m = \frac{1}{4}

The equation of the line is given by:

(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)

(y-(-3))=(\frac{1}{4})(x-0)

4(y+3)=x

4y+12=x

4y=x-12

y= \frac{1}{4}x-3

Therefore, the function equation represented by the graph is: f(x)= \frac{1}{4}x-3
