"Dividing by fractions is just like multiplying fractions, except for one additional step. To divide any number by a fraction: First step: Find the reciprocal of the fraction. Second step: Multiply the number by the reciprocal of the fraction." -Google

The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side, and the third side is 4 feet shorter than twice th

xxTIMURxx [149]

We don’t know the value of the shorter side, so we will categorize it as x. Side 2 is just 4 feet longer than x, so we would add 4 on to it. Side 3 has double the x, so we would multiply it be 2 for 2x, and subtract the 4 feet from it.

Side 1: x
Side 2: x + 4
Side 3: 2x - 4

If the perimeter is 64 feet, then all of the sides have to add up to it. Therefore, first we add all of the side lengths up:

x + x + 4 + 2x - 4 = 4x.

Now we put 4x, the amount of all these sides added up, equal to the perimeter of 64.

4x = 64. Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself.
x = 16.

Now that we know x is 16, we will substitute it in for all the side lengths’ equations.

We know that Side 1 was just x, so that will be 16. Since Side 2 was 4 more than x, we’d do 16 + 4 = 20. We substitute 16 in for x in Side 3’s equation: 2(16) - 4 = 32 - 4 = 28.

Therefore, the final lengths of all the sides are:

Side 1: 16
Side 2: 20
Side 3: 28

BRAINLIEST Find the value of x in each of the following exercises:

ohaa [14]

The value of x is 120°

Explanation:

It is given that ABC is a straight line.

Also, ∠CBE = 20° and ∠CAF = 40°

We need to determine the value of ∠DBE

Let ∠DBE = x

Since, ∠CAF and ∠ABD are alternate interior angles.

By the alternate interior angles theorem, "if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are equal".

Thus, ∠CAF and ∠ABD are equal.

Hence, ∠CAF = ∠ABD = 40°

Since, we know that, the angles in a straight line add up to 180°, we have,

∠ABD + ∠DBE + ∠CBE = 180°

Substituting the values, we get,

40° + x + 20° = 180°

Adding, we have,

60° + x = 180°

Subtracting both sides by 60, we have,

x = 120°

Thus, the value of x is 120°

Travelling with a current, a boat covers a distance 1.5times greater than travelling against the current in the same amount of t

slega [8]

Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line shown on the graph?

kirill [66]

Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines will ALWAYS have the same slope. Thus, the slope for the given line will be the same for the parallel line.

Best of Luck!
