Answer: 30 in.


Step-by-step explanation:

If it's an equilateral triangle, all sides are the same length. Therefore

3x + 15 = 7x - 5

x = 5

After figuring out x = 5, replace the x with five and solve the equation.

3(5) + 15 = 30

7(5) - 5 = 30

Now that we know the length of two sides, we can state that the third side-length <u>also</u> equals 30 inches because it is an equilateral triangle, meaning all sides are congruent/ the same.

It has to be first understood that this is an equilateral triangle and so all sides of the triangle are equal. Now let us focus on the two sides already given in the question.
3x + 15 = 7x - 5
3x - 7x = - 5 - 15
- 4x = -20
4x = 20
x = 20/4
   = 5 inches
So the length of all three sides of the equilateral triangle is 5 inches. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

The difference between two whole numbers is 14. Their product is 1,800. What are the two numbers?
Soloha48 [4]
The numbers are "x" and "y", therefore, we suggest this system of equations:
x-y=14
xy=1800
We can solve by substitution method.
x=14+y

(14+y)y=1800
14y+y²=1800
y²+14y-1800=0

Now, we solve this square equation:
y=[-14⁺₋√(196+7200)] / 2=(-14⁺₋86)/2
We have two solutions:

y₁=(-14-86)/2=-50     ⇒x=14+y=14-50=-36
y₂=(-14+86)/2=36    ⇒x=14+y=14+36=50

Answer: we have two solutions:
Solution1: The first number is -36 and the other number is -50
Soltuion2: The first number is 50 and the other number is 36

Write the point-slope form of each graph. Use the red point to write your equation. State the point and slope.
Vinil7 [7]
Answer:

First Graph:

Slope = - 4/5

Point-Slope Form: y - 3 = - 4/5 (x + 2)

Point: (-2, 3)

Second graph:

Slope = 4

Point-Slope Form: y + 6 = 4 (x + 1)

Point: (-1, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

First graph has two points: (-2, 3) & (8, -5)

Use the two points to find the slope using the Slope-Formula

Slope-Formula: y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = slope

m = - 5 - 3/8 - - 2

m = - 8/10

m = - 4/5

The slope of the line will be - 4/5

Now for Point-Slope Form, we’ll need to use the two points with the slope to identify the Point-Slope Form of the graph

Two points: (-2, 3) & (8, -5)

Slope: - 4/5

Point-Slope Formula: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Point-Slope Form: y - 3 = - 4/5 (x + 2)

The point will be: (-2, 3)
