Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5 = 2.5x + 3 - (x - 4)

<em>open parentheis</em>

3x - 5 = 2.5x + 3 - x + 4

3x - 5 = 1.5x + 7

<em>subtract 1.5x from both sides of the equation</em>

3x - 1.5x - 5 = 7

1.5x - 5 = 7

<em>add 5 to both sides of the equation</em>

1.5x = 7 + 5

1.5x = 12

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 1.5</em>

1.5x/1.5 = 12/1.5

x = 12/1.5

x = 8

280 eels

92 + 56 + 52 = 200
eel = 56/200

 56    *5       x   
-----    =   --------
200   *5   1000
56(5) = 280 x = 280

56/200 = 7/25 
7/25 = 280/1000

Use the matrix method to solve the system of equations 2x + 4y = 8 and 6x + 3y = -3. The resulting matrix is:
nikklg [1K]
So we are given the system:
2x+4y=8\\&#10;6x+3y=-3
Written in matrix form we get:
\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\6&3\end{array}\right] &#10;  \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] =&#10;\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\-3\end{array}\right]
We compute the solution like this:
&#10;  \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] =&#10; \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\6&3\end{array}\right] ^{-1}&#10;\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\-3\end{array}\right]  \\=&#10;\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3&4\\6&-2\end{array}\right]&#10;\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\-3\end{array}\right] \dfrac{1}{18}\\=&#10;\left[\begin{array}{c}2\\-3\end{array}\right]
The solution is :
\left[\begin{array}{c}2\\-3\end{array}\right]

One side of a triangle is 3 times longer than the shortest side and the third side is 4 centimeters longer than the shortest sid
givi [52]

Answer:

First side is: 12cm

Second side is: 36cm

Third side is: 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the shorter side

Then 3x represents the second side, and

x + 4 represents the third side.

Perimeter of three sides:

P = x + 3x + (x + 4)

Perimeter is 64, so

64 = x + 3x + (x + 4)

64 = 5x + 4

60 = 5x

12 = x

First side is x: 12cm

Second side is 3x: 3(12) = 36cm

Third side is x + 4: 12 + 4 = 16cm
