A triangle has the following side lengths: x - 2, x, and 3x + 1. Another triangle has the following side lengths: 2x - 5, x + 4,

6x - 7. If the perimeters of the two triangles are equal, what is x?

Since we know that the perimeters are equal, we can make an equation where the sum of the side lengths of one triangle equal the sum of the side lengths of the other triangle. This yields (x-2)+(x)+(3x+1)=(2x-5)+(x+4)+(6x-7). If we combine like turns, the equation becomes 5x-1=9x-8. We can use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the x and the integers by saying 9x-5x=-1-(-8). Simplifying this gives 4x=7 or x=1.75

Hope this helps.

Which glide reflection describes the mapping ABC DEF​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

1. Reflect ABC about the line AC and then translate 1 unit to the right.

2. Translate ABC 1 unit to the right and then reflect it about the line AC.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

ABC is transformed using glide reflection to map onto DEF.

Since, we know,

'Glide Reflection' is the transformation involving translation and reflection.

So, we can see that,

ABC can be mapped onto DEF by any of the following glide reflections:

1. Reflect ABC about the line AC and then translate 1 unit to the right.

2. Translate ABC 1 unit to the right and then reflect it about the line AC.

Hence, any of the two glide reflection will map ABC onto DEF.

Dr. Gonzalez is considering joining the Garden Club. If he pays a $25 membership fee, he
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

In the Garden Club the cost will be a fixed fee of $25 and $10 for each rosebush, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:

C1(X) = $25 + $10*X

While in the local nursery there is no initial cost, and each rosebush costs $15, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:

C2(X) = $15*X

Now, let's find the value of X where C1 and C2 are equal, this is:

$25 + $10*X = $15*X

$25 = $15*X - $10*X = $5*X

X = 25/5 = 5

This means that if he buys 5 rosebushes, he will pay the same amount in both places.

If he buys less than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the local nursery (as it has a bigger slope, but no initial fee)

If he buys more than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the Garden club (because it has a smaller slope)
