The perimeter of an equillateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x-3), find the value of x.

Since all sides are congruent, the perimeter is 3 times the length of 1 side.

3(4x - 3) = 63

Divide both sides by 3:

4x - 3 = 21

Add 3 to both sides:

4x = 24

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 6

Hello there,
1 side= (4x-3)
3 sides= (4x-3)3
= (12x-9)
To find the value of x,
12x-9= 63
12x= 63+9
12x=72
x=6

On side note: Remember to change the sign when it crosses the equal sign. (for example: -2 will become 2 once it crosses the equal sign)

Hope this helps:))

Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?

<span>Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?</span><span>2x + y > –4</span>The solutions are (-1, 2) and (1, -5), look at the graph in the attachment.

Question 3.3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation?

There is no equation

Question 4.4. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4?

Convert to slope-intercept form:

6x - 3y = 4

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3y = -6x + 4

Divide -3 to both sides:

y = -6/-3x + 4/-3

Simplify:

y = 2x - 4/3

Now it's in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope. So the slope here is 2.

Question 5.5. What is the simplified form of the expression?

15y - 3(4y + 10)

Distribute -3 into the parenthesis:

15y - 12y - 30

Combine like terms:

3y - 30
