If rs =3x + 1, st = 2x- 2 ,and rt = 64,find the value of x

1 answer:

3 0

rs + st = rt Plug in the values
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64 Combine like terms (1 and -2)
3x -1 + 2x = 64 Combine like terms (3x and 2x)
-1 + 5x = 64 Add 1 to both sides
5x = 65 Divide both sides by 5
x = 13

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The length as an algebraic expression in y is $y + (2\frac{1}{4} )$ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the width of the computer desk = y feet

The measure of the length of the desk = width + 2 1/4 ft

⇒Measure of Length = $y + (2\frac{1}{4} )$ ft

Hence, the length as an algebraic expression in y is $y + (2\frac{1}{4} )$ ft
