1) Let's look at what we know and Create an equation:

Perimeter: 6x

Side A: x + 3

Side B: 2x + 4

Side C (Unknown): Let's call this 'a'.

Because you find the perimeter of a figure by adding the lengths of all its sides together, our equation would be (the parentheses are only there to help you visualize):

(X + 3) + (2x +4) + (a) = 6x

(Side A+Side B+Side C = Perimeter)

2) From here, we combine like terms:

3x + 7 + a = 6x

3) Isolate the variable in which we are solving for (a):

<u>a = 3x - 7</u>

Since we cannot simplify any further, the length of the missing side is <u>3x - 7</u>.

Write an equation parallel to y= -5/2x + 9 that passes through the point (-6,7) brainly
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, that means their slopes are equal.

And we also know that the line must pass through (-6,7)

And with our point-slope equation, we get the equation:

y-7 = -\frac{5}{2} (x+6)

y - 7 = -\frac{5}{2} x-15\\y= -\frac{5}{2} x-8<------ Answer

Hope that helps!

The equation A = x(x-4) describes the area, A, of a rectangular flower garden, where x is the width in feet.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The flower garden width would be 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 12 ft^2 = x(x + 4) becomes:

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0, or (by completing the square) x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12 = 0

Thus, we have (x + 2)^2 - 16 = 0, or (x + 2)^2 = 16

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 2 = ±4.

In this context only a positive x value makes sense:  x = 2 + 4  =>  x = 6.

The flower garden width would be 6 ft.  The other dimension would be 6 - 4, or 2, ft.
