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 the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 is the slope intercept, as you can see where the line goes through the y-axis.

The line is also negative, as it's going down, and the slope is three down (negative) and one over. Since slope is written as y over x (y/x), 3 is y. One, the x, doesn't need to be written because 3 is already a whole number.

Can any kind soul help me please​
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

p-q= -4

p=q-4

x^2 + px + q=0

=> x^2 + (q-4)x + q = 0

d= b^2-4ac

=(q-4)^2 - 4(1)(q)

= q^2 + 16 -8q - 4q

=q^2 -12q+16

given that D=16

q^2 -12q+16 = 16

=> q^2 -12q = 0

=> q^2 = 12q

=> q = 12q/q

=> q= 12

Therefore the value of q is 12 and the value of p is q-4 = 12-4= 8

Hope you understood............
