<h3>Answer: 17 inches</h3>

===============================

Rule: All four sides of a rhombus are the same length

So AB = BC

Use this to solve for x

AB = BC

3x+2 = x+12

3x-x = 12-2

2x = 10

x = 5

If x = 5, then

AB = 3*x+2 = 3*5+2 = 15+2 = 17

and

BC = x+12 = 5+12 = 17

Both sides are 17 as expected, so the proper x value is confirmed.

So DC is also 17 since AB = DC

Dennis_Churaev [7]

If f(x)=1/9x-2
then f^-1(x) will be
lets assume f(x)=y
y=1/9x-2
y+2=1/9x
9(y+2)=x
f^-1(x)=9(y+2)

rest u can do with the same method

FIND (-8/3)+(-1/4)+(-11/6)+3/8-3

Answer:

-7 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24; converting all of our fractions to that denominator and solving, we have

$-\frac{8}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)+\left(-\frac{11}{6}\right)+\frac{3}{8}-3\\=-\frac{64}{24}+\left(-\frac{6}{24}\right)+\left(-\frac{44}{24}\right)+\frac{9}{24}-3\\\\=\frac{-64+(-6)+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-70+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-114+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-105}{24}-3 \\\\=\frac{-35}{8}-3\\ \\=-4\frac{3}{8}-3\\\\=-7\frac{3}{8}$
