x + -1.4 = 7.82
Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + x = 7.82
Solving
-1.4 + x = 7.82
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + 1.4 + x = 7.82 + 1.4
Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 7.82 + 1.4
x = 7.82 + 1.4
Combine like terms: 7.82 + 1.4 = 9.22
x = 9.22
Simplifying
x = 9.22</span>
Answer:
A. 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is just the sum of all of the side lengths. The sides of this triangle are n inches, (n + 5.2) inches, and (2n + 3.4) inches.
So, your equation is n + n + 5.2 + 2n + 3.4 = 22.6 inches.
You can combine like terms (adding together all of the n's and all of the numbers) to simplify your equation to 4n + 8.6 = 22.6 inches.
Subtract 8.6 from both sides of the equation to get 4n = 14, and divide both sides by 4 to get n = 3.5.
Hope this helps! :)
This one is best done by elimination:
We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong.
We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.
Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)
Only C is left.
We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.
