<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

Sauron [17]

Answer:

$160$ degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line ABC is a straight line, and the angle on a straight line is always 180 degrees.

Since ABD + DBC = ABC, we know that $x+8x=180$

$9x=180$

Divide both sides by 9:

$x=180\div 9=20$

DBC is $8x=8\times 20=160$ degrees.

What is the value of f(3)?

Anni [7]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that when x < 6, you will use the expression -4x

f(x) = -4x

Plug in 3 for x

f(3) = -4(3)

Simplify. Multiply

f(3) = -4(3)

f(3) = -12

-12 is your answer

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mandy travels more miles.</u>

We determine this by multiplying the distance from home by the number of trips.

For Mandy, she lives 10 miles away from school, and takes 9 trips. 9 times 10 is 90 miles.

For Matt, he lives 8 miles away from school, and takes 11 trips. 11 times 8 is 88 miles.

Many travels 2 more miles in total than Matt.
