Which number belongs to the solution set of the equation below? x - 7 = 35 A. 22 B. 28 C. 42 D. 41

1 answer:

6 0

Hey there!

To find a solution that would satisfy the value of x, the first thing you must do is to first solve for x. To solve x-7=35, you must add 7 to both sides to isolate x. This should result in x=42.

When you look at the answer choices given, notice that choice C is the solution for x, 42.

Therefore, your answer would be C. 42.

To check if this is correct, you can plug 42 back into the equation x-7=35 to see if you get a true statement:
42-7=35
35=35

Hope this helps!

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth

Check the picture below.

so... you can pretty much see how long RS and QT are, you can just count the units off the grid.

now, let's find QR's length

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&Q&(~ 8 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&R&(~ 14 &,& 16~)
\end{array}~~ 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
QR=\sqrt{(14-8)^2+(16-8)^2}\implies QR=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}
\\\\\\
QR=\sqrt{36+64}\implies QR=\sqrt{100}\implies QR=10$

and let's also find the length for ST

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&S&(~ 20 &,& 16~) 
% (c,d)
&T&(~ 22 &,& 8~)
\end{array}~ 
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{(22-20)^2+(8-16)^2}\implies ST=\sqrt{2^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{4+64}\implies ST=\sqrt{68}\implies ST=\sqrt{4\cdot 17}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 17}\implies ST=2\sqrt{17}$

so, add the lengths of all sides, and that's the perimeter of the trapezoid.
