Answer:

$x = 15 \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles have 3 equal sides.

Thus, perimeter of triangle

= 3(2x -3)

= 3(2x) +3(-3) (expand)

= (6x -9) inches

Given that the perimeter is 83 inches,

6x -9= 83

6x= 83 +9 (+9 on both sides)

6x= 92

$x = 15 \frac{1}{3}$

Honda Atlas issued 100,000 shares of stock. In 1990, each share of stock was worth Rs. 152.50. In 1993, each share of the stock

noname [10]

Answer:

Rs.13,130 ,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve first for year 1990

Value of stock in 1990 = Rs. 152.50

No. of stocks issued in 1990 = 100,000

Total value of these stocks in 1990= Value of stock in 1990* no of stocks issued in 1990 = 152.50*100,000 = Rs. 15,250,000

Let solve first for year 1993

Value of stock in 1993 = Rs. 21.20

No. of stocks 1993 = 100,000

Total value of these stocks in 1993 = Value of stock in 1993* no of stocks issued in 1993 = 21.20*100,000 = Rs. 2,120,000

Decrease in value of stock in 1993 in comparison to 1990 = Total value of the stocks in 1990 -Total value of the stocks in 1993

= Rs. 15,250,000 - Rs. 2,120,000

= Rs.13,130 ,000

Thus, the 100,000 shares worth Rs.13,130 ,000 lesser in 1993 than in 1990.

A trapezoid has an area of 30m^2. if all of its side lengths are tripled, what will its new area be

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

270

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we do not know what the side lengths are, as long as they multiply to 30m^2, it's fine

For this question, let's just say the base is 5, and the height is 6. If we triple 5, we get 15, and if we triple 6, we get 18. 15*18=270

Now what if, the sides are not 5 and 6. Will the area still be the same? Let's find out.

10*3=30 so we can say for this answer, the base is 3, and the height is 10.

10 tripled is 30, and 3 tripled is 9. 30*9=270

So as we look at these 2 answers. we can conclude that the new area, no matter the side lengths, will be 270

Hope this helpes!
