Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we are working with an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are an equal length.

If one side measures to -2x + 8

and the other measures 3x -2

these expressions must equate to each other.

-2x + 8 = 3x - 2

Let's solve for x

-2x + 8 = 3x - 2        Add 2x to both sides

8 = 5x - 2                 Add 2 to both sides to combine like terms

10 = 5x                     Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x

2 = x

Plug 2 in for x in either given expression

3(2) - 2 = 4

Each side of the triangle measures to 4

Since all 3 sides are the same length, we can simply multiply 4 by 3 to obtain our perimeter

4 * 3 = 12

Pavel [41]

Answer:

1^x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you put log(10)^x into the calculator, the product is 1^x. Then you subtract that by log(10)^3 which you you get 1^x-1 then you subtract that answer by 1 to get 1^x-2.

7) David bought a computer that was 20% off the regular price of $1080. If an 8% sales tax was added to the cost of the computer
Aneli [31]
Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.
