One side of a triangular garden is x feet long. The other two sides of the garden are both 5 feet less than twice the length of

the first side of the garden.
Part A: Write a simpiflied expression for perimeter, in feet, of the garden.
A fence is placed along the entire perimeter of the triangular garden. The roll of fencing is 40 ft long.
Part B: Write a simplified expression to show the amount of fencing, in feet, which is left from the roll of fencing.

A:  If the 1st side of the garden is x feet long then the other sides are 2x - 5.  The perimeter is simply the measure of the distance around the triangle, so the length of all three sides added up.  So the equation to find the perimeter (p) would be...

p = x + (2x+5) + (2x+5)
or
p = x + 2(2x+5)

This is actually an equation so the expression to represent perimeter would simply be...

x + 2(2x+5)

B:  Since we know the equation for the perimeter and we know that we have 40 feet of fencing, then the equation to find the left over fencing would just be the length of fencing minus the perimeter...

40 - x + 2(2x+5) = the leftover amount of fencing

so the expression is...

40 - x + 2(2x+5)

Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same
navik [9.2K]
X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0 
</span>therefore the answer is A.

meena found the number of scoops that her friend ordered by sloving the equation 0.75x + 5 =14 exlpain
vampirchik [111]
X=12
0.75x + 5=14
Take away 5 on both sides
So 0.75x +5-5=14-5
0.75x=9
0.75x divided by 9 = 12

Solve for x check your solution
abruzzese [7]
Area for a triangle is (1/2) bh or bh/2
So using this info, b = 1.5 m and h = x and A = 1.5 m^2

A = bh/2
1.5 = 1.5x/2
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of fraction ... 3 = 1.5x
Divide both sides by 1.5 ... 2 = x so x= 1.5 m

If G(s) is the inverse of S(g) , and G(2) =16 then s(16) = 2 true or false?
lina2011 [118]
If f(x) is the inverse of g(x) then if f(a)=b then g(b)=a

so if G(s) is the inverse of S(g) then if G(2)=16 then S(16)=2, true

yes, it's true
