Answer:

The correct option is C. 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have that the perimeter of a rectangle = (2·length) + (2·width)

⇒perimeter of a rectangle = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)]

⇒ 32 = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)] ⇒ 32 = (2x + 14) + (4x - 6)

⇒ 32 = 6x + 8 ⇒ 32 - 8 = 6x ⇒ 24= 6x ⇒ 24/6 = x ⇒ x = 4. ⇒ 3x= 12.

Evaluate 3(c + d) if c = 8 and d = -5

Sloan [31]

Substitution time :D

c = 8

d = -5

All you have to do is replace the variables(letters) with the numbers!

3(8 + (-5))

Do parentheses first! And remember that adding a negative is the same as subtracting :)

3(3) = 9

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

Zepler [3.9K]

We can use the formula for a parabola: $y = c(x - a) + b$ where
$(a,b)$ is the origin of the parabola and $c$ is some constant scaling factor.

We are given that the center of the arch on the bridge is $(0, 0)$ . This is our origin. So our equation is:

$y = c(x - 0)^2 + 0 = cx^2$

Now we just need to find c. We can do this by plugging in one of the other points given:

$-13 = c*7^2$
$\frac{-13}{49} = c$

So our final equation for the arch of the bridge is:

$y = \frac{-13}{49}x^2$
