we know that

Perimeter of a triangle is equal to

P=a+b+c

where

a,b and c are the length sides of the triangle

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangles</u>

<u>Triangle N 1</u>

P=(x-2)+(x)+(3x+1)-------> P=5x-1

<u>Triangle N 2</u>

P=(2x-5)+(x+4)+(6x-7)------> P=9x-8

equate the perimeters

5x-1=9x-8--------> 9x-5x=-1+8-------> 4x=7

x=7/4------> x=1.75

therefore

the answer is

x=1.75

What is −3/8÷7/12 ?
RSB [31]

Answer:

-9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my simplest-

Do the keep-change-flip method for this problem (and also any problem involving this)

KEEP -3/8

CHANGE the division sign to multiplication

FLIP the last fraction. 7/12 to 12/7

Now solve the problem by multiplying the fractions

-3/8 × 12/7 =

-3 × 12 = -36

8 × 7 = 56

-36 / 56 =

Simplify it by dividing the numerator (up of the line) and denominator (below the line) to get -9/14

Let f(x) = 2x – 1, g(x) = 3x, and h(x) = x2 + 1. Compute the following.
yaroslaw [1]
4. Since f(x) = 2x - 1, we are looking for h(2x - 1), which is (2x-1)^2 + 1. By tha time you expand this you'll get, 4x^2 - 4x + 2. So that is the answer.
5. f(f(x))  = f(2x - 1) = 2(2x - 1) - 1 = 4x - 3
6. h(g(x)) = h(3x) = (3x)^2 + 1 = 9x^2 + 1
