Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- AB = EF
- BC = EG = 6x - 8
- 7x - 19 = 2x + 11
- Perimeter of triangle: 24 + 2x + 11 + 6x - 8
<u>Solving for x:</u>
- 7x - 19 = 2x + 11
- => 7x - 2x = 19 + 11
- => 5x = 30
- => x = 30/5 = 6
<u>Substitute the value of x into the expression (24 + 2x + 11 + 6x - 8): </u>
- 24 + 2x + 11 + 6x - 8
- => 24 + 2(6) + 11 + 6(6) - 8
- => 24 + 12 + 11 + 36 - 8
- => 24 + 12 + 3 + 36
- => 75 units
The perimeter of the triangle ABC is 75 units.
Answer is in the attachment below.
Here’s the answer and each step I took to solve it. With the example I made on the side just continue to repeat that for each one to get the answers. You just replace that one number for the X to take the place for the next X value as you go down the table solving them.
Answer:
a= 2/b-c
Step-by-step explanation:
We want isolate for a or to be itself
ab-ac=2
factor out a
a (b-c)=2
Now bring b-c to the other side
a (b-c)/(b-c)=2/b-c
The b-c cancel each other out
a= 2/(b-c)
