Answer:
The value x in the equation 50=14+x+7+2x-1 is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the length of one side of a triangle is 14 inches
Let a be the length of one side
Therefore a=14 inches
The length of second side in x+7 inches
Let b be the length of second side
b=x+7 inches.
The length of third side is 2x-1 inches
Let c be the length of third side
c=2x-1 inches
And perimeter of the triangle =50 inches
Perimeter of a triangle =a+b+c
Equation can be written as
50=14+x+7+2x-1
50=20+3x ( adding the like terms )
Rewritting as below
3x+20=50
3x+20-50=50-50
3x-30=0
3x-30+30=0+30
3x=30
Therefore x=10
The value of x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Variation: inverse Proportion
y = 7, x = 9
Required
- Write an equation connecting y and x
- Find y when x = 21
Given that thee variation is inversely proportional;
This implies that
Convert variation to equation
----------- Equation 1
Where k is the constant of variation
Substitute 7 for y and 9 for x in equation 1
Multiply both sides by 9
Substitute 63 for k in equation 1
Multiply both sides by x
Hence, the equation connecting x and y is
Solving for when x = 21
Substitute 21 for x in the above equation
Divide both sides by 21
