The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 83 inches. If the length of each side is (2x -3), find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago

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) <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

= (6x -9) inches

Given that the perimeter is 83 inches,

6x -9= 83

6x= 83 +9 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

6x= 92

x = 15 \frac{1}{3}

Which of the following is not a correct name for the line shown?
Talja [164]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The line can be named with small latin letters or with two large latin letters which represent two points lying on the line.

Consider all options:

A. Points V and X lie on the line, so you can name the line as VX (true option)

B. Points W and X lie on the line, so you can name the line as WX (true option)

C. p represents the line (small letter given on the diagram) - (true option)

D. You cannot name the line using point V and line p, so this option is false

Find the inverse of the function. Show work. <br> g(x)= - 3/x-2 +2
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

\displaystyle g^{-1}(x)=\frac{-7+2x}{x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

\displaystyle g(x)=-\frac{3}{x-2}+2

Let's find the inverse of g.

Call y=g(x):

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{x-2}+2

We need to solve for x. Multiply both sides by x-2 to eliminate denominators:

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

Operate:

yx-2y=-3+2x-4

Collect the x's to the left side and the rest to the right side of the equation:

yx-2x=-3-4+2y

Factor the left side and operate on the right side:

x(y-2)=-7+2y

Solve for x:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-7+2y}{y-2}

Interchange variables:

\displaystyle y=\frac{-7+2x}{x-2}

Call y as the inverse function:

\boxed{\displaystyle g^{-1}(x)=\frac{-7+2x}{x-2}}

A baker uses a coffee mug with a diameter of 8 cm 8 cm8, start text, space, c, m, end text to cut out circular cookies from a bi
horsena [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the top of the coffee mug which the baker uses to cut out circular cookies from the big sheet of cookie dough is 8 cm.

Radius of the coffee mug is diameter of the coffee mug/2.

Radius of the coffee mug

= 8/2 = 4cm

The area of the circular mug is expressed as

Area = πr^2

Where π is a constant whose value is 3.14

Therefore,

Area of the top of the circular mug = 3.14 × 4^2 = 3.14 × 16 = 50.24 cm^2

The area of the top of the circular cup is the same as the area of each cookie. Therefore,

The area of each cookie is 50.24 cm^2

lina2011 [118]
We know that
<span>the probability of the Galaxy team winning is 22%------> 0.22
</span>the probability of the Galaxy team losing is 100%-22%----> 78%-----> 0.78

<span>the probability of the Komets team winning is 47%------> 0.47
</span>the probability of the Komets team losing is 100%-47%----> 53%-----> 0.53

therefore
<span>the probability of the comets losing their race and the galaxy winning theirs is
0.53*0.22=0.1166------> 11.66%

the answer is
11.66%</span>
