A triangle has one side that measures 12, another side that measures x, and a third side that measures 4 less than x. The perime

ter is 26. Which equation would we use to find the value of x?
x + x + 4 + 12 = 26
x + x - 4 + 12 = 26
x + x - 4 = 26
x + x + 4 = 26

Perimeter = sum of all 3 sides in a triangle
so
x + x - 4 + 12= 26
answer
B. <span>x + x - 4 + 12 = 26</span>

Someone plz help me with this asap!!!!!

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1.) $x=8\sqrt{3};y=16$

2.) $x=1;y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

3.) $x=28 ; y=14\sqrt{3}$

4.) $x=24 ; y=12\sqrt{3}$

5.) $x=4\sqrt{3};y=8\sqrt{3}$

6.) $x=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3};y=\frac{16\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the 30°-60°-90° formulas:

a. $longer$ $leg=\sqrt{3}*shorter$ $leg$

b. $hypotenuse=2*shorter$ $leg$

1.) Insert values for a:

$x=\sqrt{3}*8$

Simplify:

$x=8\sqrt{3}$

Insert values for b:

$y=2*8$

Simplify:

$y=16$

2.) Insert values for a:

$y=\sqrt{3}*\frac{1}{2}$

Simplify:

$y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Insert values for b:

$x=2*\frac{1}{2}$

Simplify:

$x=1$

3.) Insert values for a:

$y=\sqrt{3}*14$

Simplify:

$y=14\sqrt{3}$

Insert values for b:

$x=2*14$

Simplify:

$x=28$

4.)Insert values for a:

$y=\sqrt{3}*12$

Simplify:

$y=12\sqrt{3}$

Insert values for b:

$x=2*12$

Simplify:

$x=24$

5.) Insert values for a:

$12=\sqrt{3}*x$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ and rationalize:

$\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}*x}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}=x\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}*\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\\frac{12\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\frac{12\sqrt{3}}{3}\\\\4\sqrt{3}=x$

Flip:

$x=4\sqrt{3}$

Insert values for b:

$y=2*4\sqrt{3}$

Simplify:

$y=8\sqrt{3}$

6.) Insert values for a:

$8=\sqrt{3}*x$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ and rationalize:

$\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}*x}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}=x\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}*\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3}=x$

Flip:

$x=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Insert values for b:

$y=2*\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Simplify:

$y=\frac{16\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Finito.

The angles below are supplementary. What is the value of x?

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180 degrees

The first angle is 3x+40 and the second angle is 80. The add together to form a straight line. The straight line is 180 degrees.

3x+40 + 80 = 180

Combine like terms

3x+120 = 180

Subtract 120 from each side

3x+120-120=180-120

3x = 60

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 60/3

x = 20

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point of intersection f(x) = g(x), thus

10x - 6 = x + 12 ( subtract x from both sides )

9x - 6 = 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )\

x = 2 ← at point of intersection
