Answer:

13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to solve for x. Here is what we know.

The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of the triangle.

The perimeter is equal to 30 inches.

So if we add up all of the sides and set that equal to 30 then you can solve for x.

30= (2x+3) + (x) + (4x-8)

Then combine the like terms.

30=2x+x+4x +3-8

Then solve for x.

30+5=7x\\\frac{35}{7} =x\\x=5

Now that you know x you can plug it into the equation for the longest side.

2x+3\\2(5)+3\\10+3\\13  inches

Answer:

Longest side = 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle =  30 inches

x + 4x - 8 + 2x +3    =  30

x + 4x + 2x - 8 + 3 = 30

                   7x - 5 = 30

                          7x = 30 + 5

                          7x = 35

                            x = 35/7

         x = 5

Longest side is the hypotenuse.

Longest side = 2x + 3 = 2*5 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 inches

How do you write an equation of a line that passes through (4,3) and has a slope of 2?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We know the slope is 2, so all that's left is to find the y-intercept. To do this, for every 1 we subtract from x in (4,3), we take away 2 from y because the slope is two. We keep doing this until x is zero. The remaining y-value is the y-intercept.

What is the solution to the equation? 13+x=74
levacccp [35]
You subtract 13 from both sides, leaving us with:
x = 74 - 13
x = 61. this answer has not been listed, but it is correct.

maybe you made a typo when writing the actual problem down? if not, 61 is the answer.

SIMPLIFY 81 TO THE 1/3 POWER
Ne4ueva [31]
81^1/3. We know that 81 is 3^4, meaning 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 is 81. So (3^4)^1/3 is 3^4/3, which is 3 * (cubed root of 3).
