The y-intercept is -8 as the minus always stays with the number to the right of it

Answer: False!

This equation is in slope - intercept form, where y = mx + b. B is the y - intercept and m is the slope. They got the location of the y - intercept right, but they forgot to add the negative. It's actually -8.

Hope this helps!

The sides of △FGH are FG = 6 x+ 7, GH = 8x - 5, and FH = 10x - 11. If the perimeter of △FGH is 87, list the angles in order from

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

From largest to smallest: FG, FH, GH

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$FG = 6x + 7$

$GH = 8x - 5$

$FH = 10x - 11$

$Perimeter = 87$

Required

Order the sides in descending order

First, we need to solve for x.

Perimeter of FGH is calculated as thus:

$Perimeter = FG + GH + FH$

Substitute values for FG, GH, FH and Perimeter

$87 = 6x + 7 + 8x - 5 + 10x - 11$

Collect Like Terms

$87 - 7 + 5 + 11= 6x + 8x + 10x$

$96= 24x$

Reorder

$24x = 96$

Divide through by 24

$x = 96/24$

$x = 4$

Substitute 4 for x in FG, GH and FH

$FG = 6x + 7$

$FG = 6 * 4 + 7$

$FG = 24 + 7$

$FG =31$

$GH = 8x - 5$

$GH = 8 * 4 - 5$

$GH = 32 - 5$

$GH = 27$

$FH = 10x - 11$

$FH = 10*4 - 11$

$FH = 40 - 11$

$FH = 29$

In order of arrangement in descending order, we have:

$FG =31$ $FH = 29$ $GH = 27$

X^2-7x-34=10<br><br> Please help me answer this question thank you

elena-s [515]

Answer: x = 4,11

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 7x - 34 - 10 = 0

x^2 - 7x - 44 = 0

Factorise it

x^2 - 11x - 4x - 44 = 0

x ( x - 11 ) - 4 ( x - 11 ) = 0

(x-4)(x-11) = 0

x = 4,11
