Answer: 8a-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a trapezoid is the addition of its four sides.

Perimeter of trapezoid= 39a – 7.

Length of 1st side= 9a,

Length of 2nd side= 5a + 1,

Length of third side= 17a – 6.

Length of the fourth side= Unknown

To find the length of the 4th side, we add the length of the three sides together and subtract from the perimeter of the trapezoid. This will be:

= 39a-7 - (9a+5a+1+17a-6)

= 39a-7-(9a+5a+17a+1-6)

= 39a-7-(31a-5)

=39a-7-31a+5

= 39a-31a-7+5

= 8a-2

The length of the 4th side is 8a-2

We know the perimeter is the total sum of all sides of the shape, we can use this to form an equation: the perimeter=1st side + 2nd side + 3rd side + 4th side 39a-7=9a+(5a+1)+(17a-6)+4th side.
Collect like terms to get 39a-7=31a-5+4th side
If we move everything but the 4th side over to the left we can solve 
C. 8a-2=4th side is the correct answer

RSB [31]
An inequality to model this would be

7x + 8y ≥ 336.

We multiply the number of minutes running, x, by the number of calories burned each minute by running, 7.  We multiply the number of minutes swimming, y, by the number of calories burned each minute by swimming, 8.  Adding these together, it needs to be greater than or equal to 336, since she wants to burn at least that many calories.

Graph the relation shown in the table. Is the relation a function? Why or why not?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Plot all of the points given on the same xy coordinate grid. Note how it is NOT possible to draw a vertical line through more than one point at a time (for any given single vertical line). Because of this, the relation passes the vertical line test making this a function.

The answer is choice A
