Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3
Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides
Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x
(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5
If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)
Answer: 13 inches
Answer:
x=36
y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 0 for x to find the y-intercept
0 + 4y = 36
4y = 36
y = 9
y-intercept (0, 9)
Plug in 0 for y to find the x-intercept
x + 4(0) = 36
x = 36
x-intercept (36, 0)
Answer:
The answer to your question is cost of 0.6 pound of candy $4.17
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
1 pound of candy = $6.95
only 0.6 pounds
final cost = ?
Process
1.- Use proportions to find the cost of 0.6 pounds of candy
1 pound of candy -------------- $6.95
0.6 pound of candy ---------- x
2.- Use cross multiplication
x = (0.6 x 6.95) / 1
3.- Simplification and result
x = $ 4.17
Answer:
First option is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 4x - 10
Perimeter = x + 8
