Since the entire length is 36 you subtract what lengths you know first 7 and 1 (36-7-1=28) since there are 7 x’s left over you just divide 28/7 and you get x = 4

If RT = 36, to find the value of x, we must first find the value of RT in terms of x and numbers. By the part-whole postulate, we know that RT = RS + ST, or 6x + 1 + x + 7, or 7x + 8. That means that RT is equal to 7x + 8. Finally, since we know that RT = 36, we know that RT = 7x + 8, we can say that 7x + 8 = 36. Solving for this gives us:

7x = 36 - 8

7x = 28

x = 4

Find the perimeter of this shape

Margaret [11]

The answer is 257.08m. Explanation: you know that one side of the square in the middle is 50m. This is the same as the diameter of one of the half circles on each side. The perimeter of a circle is the formula C=2(pi)r, where r is the radius. Dividing 50 by two will get you the size of the radius, then just plug it into the equation to find the perimeter of both rounded sides (a full circle). The two circular sides equal 157.08m, so then you just need to add the flat sides, which are both 50m since they’re congruent. 157.08m + 50m + 50m = 257.08m, so the perimeter of the shape is 257.08m.

X=5-3Y X=2Y-10 Whats the answer

prohojiy [21]

X = 5 - 3y
x = 2y - 10

5 - 3y = 2y - 10
 + 3y + 3y 
 5 = 5y - 10
+ 10 + 10
 15 = 5y
 5 5
 3 = y
x = 2y - 10
x = 2(3) - 10
x = 6 - 10
x = -4
(x, y) = (-4, 3)

36 in the ratio of 2:3:4

Viefleur [7K]

The ratio of three numbers are 2:3:4.

Let the rational between the three numbers be x, hence the three numbers be 2x, 3x,and 4x.

If their average is 36, what are the numbers

We know the average = sum of the numbers / no. Of numbers.

(2x+3x+4x) /3=36

9x/ 3= 36

3x =36

X= 36/ 3

X= 12

The rational is 12

Answer the three number are 24, 36, and 48.
