Answer:

The length of side 3 is 5.67 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has three sides. The x represents the length of side 2.

  • Side 1= x-4
  • Side 2= x
  • Side 3= x-4+3 = x-1

The total perimeter (P) of the triangle is 15.

P=S1+S2+S3

15=x-4+x+x-1

15=3x-5

15+5=3x

20=3x

20/3=x

x=6.67 (Length of side 2)

S3= x-1

S3=6.67-1

S3=5.67 inches

Check:

S1= x-4 = 6.67-4 = 2.67

S2= x=6.67

S3=x-4+3=x-1=5.67

P=S1+S2+S3

P=2.67+6.67+5.67

P=15

Start by representing the lengths of the three sides of your triangle:

first side:  x-4 (inches)
second side:  x (inches)
third side:  (x-4) + 3 (inches)

Add these three quantities up to obtain a formula for the perimeter, and set your sum equal to the given perimeter (15 inches):

x-4  +  x  +  x-4  -3  =  15

3x-11=15
3x=26
x=26/3

Thus, the length of the 2nd side is 26/3; that of the first side is 26/3-4, or 14/3; and that of the third side is 14/3+3, or 23/3 (all measurements in inches).

70.4%+.2x=90%

subtract 70.4% from 90% to get 19.6%
make the .2x into 2 and the 19.6 into 196
divide 196 by 2 to come up with the answer of 98%.
you will need a 98% to have a 90% for the final grade

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Input

Independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>Independent variables</u>, are the values that can be changed or controlled in a given model or equation

<u>Dependent variables</u>, are the values that result from the independent variables

we have the function

d(t)=50t

In this problem

This is a proportional relationship between the variables d and t

The function d(t) represent the dependent variable or the output

The variable t represent the independent variable or input

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 cards and a total possible prize of 30 dollars, the probability for each one is 30/10=3 dollars. And since 5 out of the 10 are even, you can multiply the individual amount by 5 to get a total estimated payout of $15. Hope this helps!
