Answer:

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of the shortest side

y ---> the measure of the middle side

z ---> the measure of the longest side

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=x+y+z

P=3,067\ mi

so

3,067=x+y+z ----> equation A

the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side

so

x=y-71 ----> equation B

the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side

so

z=y+372 ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

3,067=(y-71)+y+(y+372)

solve for y

3,067=3y+301\\3y=2,766\\y=922

Find the value of x

x=y-71\\x=922-71\\x=851

therefore

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Write an equation for the line that has a slope -8/9 and goes through the point (-7, 7)
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know the slope, so the only thing left to find is the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, we can <u>plug in the slope and point to the slope-intercept form equation</u> (y = mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int.)

y   =     m *  x    + b

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

<u>Now, just solve for b!</u>

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

7 = 56/9 + b

7 - (56/9) = b

b = 0.777777 (repeating decimal, usually signified by a little line above the 7)

so now we just <u>plug in the slope and y-intercept we found into y = mx + b.</u>

y = mx + b

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

2x+3=x+x+3<br> Show your work
Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3=x+x+3

add the X's on the right side together.

2x+3=2x+3

subtract 2x from both sides

3=3

subtract 3 from both sides

0=0

the statement is true for any value of x
