Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 10 + 5x is 12 more than 8, what is the value of 3x? We can represent this with the equation below.

10+5x = 12+8.

Simplifying this gives us 10+5x = 20, then 5x = 10, then x = 2.

If x = 2, then 3x = 6.

Answer:

3x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 5x =8+12

10 +5x = 20

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10+5x=20-10

5x= 10

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

We want 3x

3(2) = 6

3x=6

On a coordinate plane, kite W X Y Z is shown. Point W is at (negative 3, 3), point X is at (2, 3), point Y is at (4, negative 4)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$P = 10 + 2\sqrt{53}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Kite WXYZ

W (-3, 3), X (2, 3),

Y (4, -4), Z (-3, -2)

Required

Determine perimeter of the kite

First, we need to determine lengths of sides WX, XY, YZ and ZW using distance formula;

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

For WX:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (-3, 3),\ (2, 3)$

$WX = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (3 - 3)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (0)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{25}$

$WX = 5$

For XY:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (2, 3)\ (4,-4)$

$XY = \sqrt{(2 - 4)^2 + (3 - (-4))^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{-2^2 + (3 +4)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{-2^2 + 7^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{4 + 49}$

$XY = \sqrt{53}$

For YZ:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (4,-4)\ (-3, -2)$

$YZ = \sqrt{(4 - (-3))^2 + (-4 - (-2))^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(4 +3)^2 + (-4 +2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{7^2 + (-2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$YZ = \sqrt{53}$

For ZW:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (-3, -2)\ (-3, 3)$

$ZW = \sqrt{(-3 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - 3)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(-3 +3)^2 + (-2 - 3)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{0^2 + (-5)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{0 + 25}$

$ZW = \sqrt{25}$

$ZW = 5$

The Perimeter (P) is as follows:

$P = WX + XY + YZ + ZW$

$P = 5 + \sqrt{53} + \sqrt{53} + 5$

$P = 5 + 5 + \sqrt{53} + \sqrt{53}$

$P = 10 + 2\sqrt{53}$ units

Simplify this expression : 2x(x-1)-3x^2-(5x-4)

Setler [38]

Answer:

-x^2 - 7x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x - 1) - 3x^2 - (5x - 4)

= 2x^2 - 2x - 3x^2 - 5x + 4

Adding like terms, we get:-

-x^2 - 7x + 4 (answer).
