The work inside parentheses cannot be carried out as shown, so the next approach to consider is multiplying the expressions inside the parentheses by -5 and 5 respectively:

-5 + 25x - 40x - 10 = -4x - 8x (Are you sure it's really "-4x - 8x"?)

Combining the x-terms:

-5 - 15x - 10 = -12x

Combining all like terms: -15 = 3x, so that x = -5 (answer)

Solve Triangle DEF. - Math

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$p = 52.942259755149776$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basic trigonometry.

$\cos(39) = \frac{e}{22}$

$e = \cos(39) \times 22$

$\sin(39) = \frac{d}{22}$

$d = \sin(39) \times 22$

And finally perimeter (p):

$p = 22 + e+ d$
