Answer:
x = -11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 23 + 9 = x + 21
Combine common factors
2x + 32 = x + 21
Subtract x from both sides
x + 32 = 21
Subtract 32 from both sides
x = -11
I would use the pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of each side. a² + b² = c².
Side AB is one we're looking for. If you make other right triangle with that same side you can see that one length is 4 and the other is 3. So, 4² + 3² = c² → 25 = c² → 5 = c. Side AB is length 5.
Side AC is another. Do the same with that side and you get that one length is 4 and the other is 3. (This is the same one as above) so side AC is length 5.
Side BC is the last one. One of the lengths is 1 and the other is 1 → 1² + 1² = c² → 2 = c² → 1.414213562 = c so side BC is approximately length 1.41.
Add each length up and you get a perimeter of roughly 11.4
You would use the point-slope equation of y-y₁=mx(x-x₁)
So the rate of change is the slope and equals m, so m=-4
and has a solution at (-5,2) which would be the (x₁, y₁) and then it is just plugging in the numbers
y - (2) = (-4)(x - (-5))
y - 2 = -4 (x+5)
y - 2 = -4x - 20
y = -4x - 18
A clock is 12 hours.
11 hours and 38 minutes is 22 minutes short of being a full 12 hours.
In 12 hours the time would be 5:35 again, so now subtract 22 minutes from the time:
5:35 - 22 minutes = 5:13
In 11 hours and 38 minutes, the time will be 5:13
