Answer:

The value of x = 12 and the measure of each side is 23 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  STU is an equilateral triangle.

ST = 2x -1

SU = 5x - 37

TU = x + 11

Now, as Δ STU is an equilateral triangle, hence all the sides of the triangle are equal.

⇒ ST = SU = TU

or, 2x -1 = 5x - 37 = x + 11

Considering : 2x -1 = 5x - 37 , we get

-1 + 37 = 5x - 2x

or 3x = 36

or, x = 12

Considering : 5x - 37 = x + 11 , we get

5x -x = 11 + 37

or, 4x = 48  or, x = 12

Considering :  x + 11  = 2x -1

or, 2x - 1 =  x + 11

or, x = 12

hence, in all the cases value of x = 12

ST =  2x -1 =  2(12) -1  = 23 units

SU =  5x - 37= 5(12) -1  = 23  units

TU =  x + 11  = 12 = 11  = 23 units

. What are the equation and slope of the line that is parallel to the y-axis and goes through the point (1,-2)?​
Brrunno [24]
The answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

If the line is parallel to the y-axis it has no slope, so you would only write down the x-intercept.

Which of the following expressions are equivalent? Justify your reasoning,
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

B:

Anything to a negative power means that it is 1/that to the positive power.

E.g. x^-1 = 1/x^1

In other words, anything to the power of a negative switches sides of a fraction (i.e. if in numerator moves to denominator and vice versa.)

1/x^-1 = 1/1/x^1 which is just equal to x, because there are x number of 1/xs in one (1/x * x =1) Therefore Option B is equal to just x.

D: (assuming the first given term is x^1/3 and not X1/3 (?) Correct me if I'm wrong).

x^1/3 * x^1/3 * x^1/3 is also equal to just x.

This is because when multiplying together terms with the same base (x in this case) the exponents just add together, so:

x^1/3 * x^1/3 * x^1/3 = x^(1/3 +1/3 +1/3) = x^1 = x.

Therefore B and D are equivalent because they both equal x.

Hope this helped!
