Mathematics

Answer:

Coordinates of B are (-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

AC in the horizontal direction is 14, so AB in the horizontal direction is 2/7 of 14 which is 4.

AC in the vertical direction is 7, so AB in the vertical direction is 2/7 of 7, which is 2.

To find the coordinates of B, you move right 4, and up 2 from A towards C.

The perimeter of a triangle is 32 feet. One side of the triangle is 3 times the second side. The third side is 12 feet longer

Ivenika [448]

We have a triangle whose perimeter is 32 feet. Some information regarding the sides of the triangle is given:

GiveN:

One side is 3 times the second side.
Third side is 12 feet longer than the second side.

As we can see that, two sides of the triangle are defined the second sides. It means First and third side can be expressed in the form of second side.

So let the second side be x

Then,

First side = 3x
And, third side = x + 12

We know that, perimeters is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle, So it can be written as:

$3x + x + x + 12 = 32$

Solving it further,

$5x + 12 = 32$

Subtracting 12 from both sides,

$5x + 12 - 12 = 32 - 12$

$5x = 20$

Dividing 5 from both sides,

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{20}{5}$

$x = 4$

Then,

First side = 3x = 12 feet
Second side = 4 feet
Third side = x + 12 = 16 feet

And we are done with the answer !!

The student council at Livingston High School is making T-shirts to sell for a fundraiser, at a price of $16 apiece. The costs,

Allushta [10]

Answer:

5 shirts must be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up the equation. Each shirt (x) is sold for $16:

For every amount (y) for x: (y)(x) = (16)(y)

The cost is $4, with the setup fee as $60.

(16)(y) = (4)(y) + 60

16y = 4y + 60

Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 4y from both sides.

16y (-4y) = 4y (-4y) + 60

16y - 4y = 60

12y = 60

Next, isolate the variable (y). Divide 12 from both sides.

(12y)/12 = (60)/12

y = 60/12

y = 5

5 shirts must be sold.

To check, plug in 5 for y in the equation:

16y = 4y + 60

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

Simplify.

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

80 = 4(5) + 60

80 = 20 + 60

80 = 80 (True).
