step 1: open brackets n rmb to flip the signs
step 2 (optional): rearrange to make the equation clearer to add/minus
length of 3rd side:
(8x + 3) - (2x + 1) -(5x + 2)
= 8x + 3 - 2x -1 - 5x -2
= 8x -2x -5x +3 -1 -2
= x
Therefore, length of 3rd side is X cm.
---
If perimeter = 75cm,
8x +3 = 75
8x = 75-3
8x = 72
x = 9 cm
Therefore,
1st side = 2(9) +1
= 19 cm
2nd side = 5(9) +2
= 47 cm
3rd side = 9 cm
The answer should be X < 3 !
Explanation:
You first minus 5 to the other side which gave you -3 . Then you minus the 5x to the other side which gave you -1. After than just need to divide -1 to both side, switch the > and you’ll get the answer! Hope the explanation makes sense.
To do these, start by looking at the "b" value -6.
divide it by 2
-6/2 = -3
now square this number
(-3)^2 = 9
this is what you need for the "c" value
there is only a 5 for the c value so add 4 to both sides of the equation. ( +4 = +4)
y +4 = x^2 -6x +5 +4
y +4 = x^2 -6x +9
y +4 = (x -3)^2
y = (x -3)^2 - 4
vertex ( 3, -4) upwards facing like a bowl, because the "a" value is positive. So the vertex is the minimum, lowest point on the graph.
