we know that
Perimeter of a triangle is equal to
P=a+b+c
where
a,b and c are the length sides of the triangle
<u>Find the perimeter of the triangles</u>
<u>Triangle N 1</u>
P=(x-2)+(x)+(3x+1)-------> P=5x-1
<u>Triangle N 2</u>
P=(2x-5)+(x+4)+(6x-7)------> P=9x-8
equate the perimeters
5x-1=9x-8--------> 9x-5x=-1+8-------> 4x=7
x=7/4------> x=1.75
therefore
the answer is
x=1.75

Answer:
37. {-1, -1}.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll solve the first one . The other can be solved in a similar way. We can use the method of elimination.
x1 - x2 = 0
3x1 - 2x2 = -1
We can multiply the first equation by -2. We then have an equation containing + 2x2 so when we add this to the second equation the 2x2 will be eliminated
So the first equation becomes:
-2x1 + 2x2 = 0 Bring down the second equation:
3x1 - 2x2 = -1 Now adding, we get:
x1 + 0 = -1
so x1 = -1.
Now we substitute this value of x1 in the original first equation:
-1 - x2 = 0
-1 = x2
x2 = -1.
So the solution set is {-1, -1}.
If there are more than 2 equations you can use a combination of substitutions and eliminations.
