The perimeter of kite LMNO is 36 feet. Side MN = 8x – 3 and side NO = 2x + 1. Find the value of x.
2 answers:
Answer: x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the kite is shown in the attached photo.
The perimeter of the kite is the distance around the kite.
The kite has 2 pairs of equal sides.
This means that
Side ML = side MN and side NO =
side LO
If Side MN = 8x – 3 and side NO = 2x + 1, then The perimeter of the kite is ML + MN + NO + LO
The perimeter of kite LMNO is given as 36 feet.
Therefore
ML + MN + NO + LO = 36
8x – 3 + 2x + 1 +8x – 3 + 2x + 1 = 36
8x + 8x + 2x+ 2x -3 +1 - 3 + 1
20x -4 = 36
20x = 40
x = 40/20 = 2

Answer:
Option 2: (1,0) is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Given inequality is:
y>-5x+3
In order to find which point is solution to the given inequality we'll put the point one by one in the inequality. If the point satisfies the inequality, then the point is the solution of the inequality.
Putting (0,3) in inequality
Putting (1,0) in inequality
Putting (-3,1) in inequality
Putting (-1,-2) in inequality
The inequality is true for (1,0)
Hence,
Option 2: (1,0) is the correct answer
