Jared wrote an equation for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle as 3x = 20. What does x represent in his equation?

The perimeter of an object is equal to its sides added up. Because this is a triangle, it will have 3 equal sides. Since the triangle has 3 equal sides, its perimeter will be equal to one of its side lengths * 3.

Because the perimeter will be equal to one of its side lengths * 3, x is equal to one of the triangle's side lengths.

X is the variable for the length of the sides.

Because a equalilateral ∆ has 3 equal sides, they can be represented by one term (x)

Which equation has no solution?

vovangra [49]

C. -5 + 9 = 22 + 9 - 7 is the answer.

This is because when solved it’s : -52 = 15 which is false therefore there’s no solution.

The table below shows the outputs y for different inputs x:

igor_vitrenko [27]

Part A)
The table doesn't represent y as a function of x.
Why? One reason is that 1 or 3 is the first element in more than one ordered pair.
Part B)
f(x) = 10x + 20
f(120)= 10*120 + 20 = 1200 + 20 = 1220
f(120) represents cost of boating for 120 hours.

If I'm 16 years old, how many months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds old am I?

irakobra [83]

16*12=months
16*365=days
Then take that answer and multiply it by 24 for hours then take that number and multiply it by 60 for minutes and then take that number and multiply it by 60 for seconds.
