Answer:

2x+ 2.1 = 7.5

x=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle with sides x and y is

2x+y = P

I put y as the single side since the question said y is the shortest side.  It should say shorter sides if the two sides with the same length are smaller than the third.

We know y =2.1 and P = 7.5

Substituting these values in, we get

2x+ 2.1 = 7.5

Subtract 2.1 from each side

2x+2.1 -2.1 = 7.5 -2.1

2x= 5.4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 5.4/2

x = 2.7 m

Answer:

(2x-3) (2x+3)

zeros, x intercepts:  -3/2, 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 -9

We know the difference of squares is a^2 -b^2

This factors into (a-b) (a+b)

Let 4x^2 =a^2  

Taking the square root

2x =a

Let b^2 =9

Taking the square root

b= 3

(4x^2-9 ) = (2x-3) (2x+3)

To find the zeros, we set the equation equal to zero

(4x^2-9 ) = (2x-3) (2x+3) =0

Using the zero product property

2x-3 =0   and 2x+3 =0

2x-3+3 = 0+3                    2x+3-3 = 0-3

2x=3                                  2x=-3

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 3/2                               2x/2 = -3/2

x = 3/2                                       x = -3/2

These are the zeros of the equation (which are also the x intercepts)

Please help I don't know this and it's due today <br><br>5 - x = 12
attashe74 [19]
5 - x = 12

We're essentially just trying to get "x" onto its own side.

So, simply subtract 5 from both sides.

-x = 12 - 5

Simplify.

-x = 7

Now, divide both sides by -1.

x = -7
