Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3
Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides
Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x
(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5
If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)
Answer: 13 inches
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 3 +9 = box
3x = -12
3x/3 = -12/3
x = -4
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5=4/10
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -|x + 9|
compared to
f(x) = |x|
has a graph that opens downward in an upside down V shape.
It has been moved 9 units left compared to the graph of f(x) = |x|.
It reflects over the x-axis.
