The answer in the green box should be 9.
P(x) = x-4
k(x-4) = 5(x-4) - 8 = 5x - 28
So the answer is 2
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
All of the following numbers are rational
Answer: 80 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. As you can see in the figure, triangle ABC and the triangle DFG are similar.
2. The scale of factor of triangle ABC to triangle DFG is the following:
3. Therefore, the lenght of the side DG of the trinagle DFG is:
4. The perimeter of the triangle DFG is:
5. Therefore, she would need 80 feet of fence.
