If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x? A triangle with base x + 2, height

x, and side length x + 4. A triangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x. (x + 4) + x + (x + 2) = one-half x + (x + 3) (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) 2 (x) + 2 (x + 2) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2 (x + 3 and one-half)

Correct question :

If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x? A triangle with base x + 2, height x, and side length x + 4. A rectangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x. (x + 4) + x + (x + 2) = one-half x + (x + 3) (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) 2 (x) + 2 (x + 2) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2 (x + 3 and one-half)

Answer: (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A triangle with base x + 2, height x, and side length x + 4 - - - -

b = x + 2 ; a = x ; c = x + 4

Perimeter (P) of a triangle :

P = a + b + c

P =( x + 2) + x + (x + 4) - - - (1)

A rectangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x

l = x + 3 ; w = 1/2 x

Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2(l+w)

P = 2(x+3) + 2(1/2x)

If perimeter of each same are the same ; then;

(1) = (2)

(x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2(x+3) + 2(1/2x)

Which equation represents a nonlinear function?​
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraically, linear functions are polynomials with highest exponent equal to 1 or of the form y = c where c is constant. Nonlinear functions are all other functions. An example of a nonlinear function is y = x^2.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through 3,4 and is parallel to y=-2x-2
kow [346]
Y = -2x - 2. Slope here is -2. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(3,4)...x = 3 and y = 4
now we sub and find b, the y int
4 = -2(3) + b
4 = - 6 + b
4 + 6 = b
10 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = -2x + 10

in a school gym, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls was 4:3 . after 160 boys left the gym, the ratio became
Annette [7]

Answer:

300 girls were there in the gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls was 4:3, after 160 boys left the gym, the ratio became 4:5.

Now, to find the number of girls in the gym.

The girls in the gym does not left, their quantity is same before and after.

So, we multiply the both ratios to make the girls ratio same:

4:3 × 5 = 20:15

4:5 × 3 = 12:15

Now, <em>we find the units of the ratio</em>.

<em>The ratio of boys dropped down by 160</em>:

20 - 12 = 8 units.

160 = 8 units

Now, dividing both sides by 8 we get:

20 = 1 unit

So, 1 unit = 20.

Now, girls = 15 units

So, 15 × 20 = 300.

Therefore, 300 girls were there in the gym.

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. a. The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit.
vodomira [7]

Answer and explanation:

Discrete random variables can be counted as integers and you can't divide them. Continuous random variables are counted as real numbers and are magnitudes that can´t be counted as an exact number (there will always be an uncertainty in the measurement).

a. The random variable is continuous. Distance is a measurement.

b. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many people are sitting at a computer.

c. The random variable is continuous. Weight is a measurement.

d. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many fishes were caught.

e. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many hints a web site had.

47/8 as a mixed number
tresset_1 [31]
47/8 is an improper fraction so we need to divide 47 by 8 to get an mixed number.
8 go into 47, 5 times  because 5*8 equals 40. 
47-40 is 7 that is the left over.
5 7/8 is your mixed number.
