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?

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

Is the following statement a good definition? Why? An integer is divisible by 100 if and only if its last two digits are zeros.
kifflom [539]
The given statement is:
An integer is divisible by 100 if and only if its last two digits are zeros

The two conditional statements that can be made are:

1) If an integer is divisible by 100 its last two digits are zeros.

This is a true statement. If a number is divisible by 100, it means 100 must be a factor of that number. When 100 will be multiplied by the remaining factors, the number will have last two digits zeros. 

2) If the last two digits of an integer are zeros, it is divisible by 100.

This is also true. If last two digits are zeros, this means 100 is a factor of the integer. So the number will be divisible by 100.

Therefore, the two conditional statements that are formed are both true.

So, the option A is the correct answer.
Yes, it is. When the definition is separated into two conditional statements, both of the statements are true

What is the number nearest to 10000 which is exactly divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8?.
Tems11 [23]

10080 is the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Divisibility is being able to divide a number evenly and result to a whole number. Divisibility rules are set of rules to test if one number is divisible by another without doing much computation.

#1: divisibility by 2

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even.

# 2: divisibility by 3:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

# 3: divisibility by 4

A number is divisible by 4 if the number represented by its last two digits is divisible by 4.

#4: divisibility by 5

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.

# 5: divisibility by 6

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

# 6: divisibility by 7

Double the last digit and subtract it from a number made by the other digits. The result must be divisible by 7.

#7: divisibility by 8

A number is divisible by 8 if the number represented by its last three digits is divisible by 8.

#8: divisibility by 9

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

# 9: divisibility by 10

A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit or the digit in the ones place is 0.

To get the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, consider first the numbers that are divisible by 5(numbers ending in 5 or 0) and narrow it down to numbers ending in 0 since numbers ending in 5 is not divisible by 2, thus making it indivisible by 6.

The process goes on by narrowing the list by checking its divisibility by 3, 4, 7 and 8.
