Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 84 cm

2*(length + width) = 84

2* (2x - 8 + x - 2) = 84

2*(2x + x - 8 - 2) = 84   {bring like terms together}

2*(3x - 10) = 84    {add/ subtract like terms}

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2*(3x-10)}{2}=\frac{84}{2}\\\\

3x - 10 = 42

3x - 10 +10 = 42 + 10   {add 10 to both sides}

3x = 52

Divide by 3,

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{52}{3}\\

x= 17 1/3

Length = 2x - 8

=2*\frac{52}{3}-8\\\\=\frac{104}{3}-\frac{8*3}{1*3}\\\\=\frac{104}{3}-\frac{24}{3}\\\\=\frac{104-24}{3}\\\\=\frac{80}{3}\\\\=26\frac{2}{3}

Solve the following absolute value equation.<br><br> −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14
Levart [38]

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

For problems 12 - 14, Determine whether each sequence appears to be an
marshall27 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒12)It is an arithmetic sequence.

   d=2-1=3-2=4-3=1

    a(n) = a +(n-1)d

    a(n) = 1+(n-1)1

The next three terms:

a(6) = 1+(6-1)1=6

a(7) = 1+(7-1)1=7

a(8) = 1+(8-1)1=8

⇒13)It is an arithmetic sequence.

   d=0-3=-3-0=-6+3=-3

    a(n) = a +(n-1)d

    a(n) = 3+(n-1)-3

The next three terms:

a(5) = 3+(5-1)-3=-9

a(6) = 3+(6-1)-3=-12

a(7) = 3+(7-1)-3=-15

⇒14)It is <u>not </u>an arithmetic sequence.

⇒15) a(50) = 10 +(50-1)5

                  =<u>255</u>

<u>I hope this helps</u>

Fill in the blank.
Marrrta [24]

Question:

Fill in the blank.

23 x 6 = (20 + 3) * 6

23 x 6 = _ + (3x6)

Options

20 * 6

20 * 3

20 * 5

Answer:

20 * 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression 1:  23 * 6 = (20 + 3) * 6

Expression 2:  23 * 6 = __ + (3 * 6)

Required

Fill in the blank

From Expression 1

23 * 6 = (20 + 3)*6

Using Distributive Property; The expression becomes

23 * 6 = 20 * 6 + 3 * 6

23 * 6 = (20 * 6) + (3 * 6)

By Comparing this with expression 2

23 * 6 = __ + (3 * 6)

The blank position is occupied by 20 * 6.

Hence, the correct option that fills the missing blank correctly is 20 * 6

Don't get this
kap26 [50]
I'll talk you through it so you can see why it's true, and then
you can set up the 2-column proof on your own:

Look at the two pointy triangles, hanging down like moth-wings
on each side of 'OC'.

-- Their long sides are equal,  OA = OB, because both of those lines
are radii of the big circle.

-- Their short sides are equal, OC = OC, because they're both the same line.

-- The angle between their long side and short side ... the two angles up at 'O',
are equal, because OC is the bisector of the whole angle there.

-- So now you have what I think you call 'SAS' ... two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
(When I was in high school geometry, this was not called 'SAS' ... the alphabet
did not extend as far as 'S' yet, and we had to call this congruence theorem
"broken arrow".)

These triangles are not congruent the way they are now, because one is
the mirror image of the other one.  But if you folded the paper along 'OC',
or if you cut one triangle out and turn it over, it would exactly lie on top of
the other one, and they would be congruent.

So their angles at 'A' and at 'B' are also equal ... those are the angles that
you need to prove equal.
