The sides of a triangle are (x+3), (x+4), and (x+7). Find the value of x if the perimeter of the triangle is 104

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of a shape. Therefore, because the sum is equivalent to 104 inches and we are given the lengths of all three sides, we can add the three sides together and set them equal to 104 in order to solve for x.

(x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 7) = 104 Drop the parentheses.

x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 7 = 104 Combine like terms (variables first!).

3x + 3 + 4 + 7 = 104 Now, combine constant terms.

3x + 14 = 104 Subtract 14 from both sides.

3x = 90 Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation.

x = 30

Sarah kicked a ball in the air. The function
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: The ball hits the ground at 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems incomplete and there is not enough data. However, we can work with the following function to understand this problem:

f=30 t- 6t^{2} (1)

Where f models the height of the ball in meters and t the time.

Now, let's find the time t when the ball Sara kicked hits the ground (this is when f=0 m):

0=30 t- 6t^{2} (2)

Rearranging the equation:

6t^{2}-30 t=0 (3)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

t^{2}-5 t=0 (4)

This quadratic equation can be written in the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, and can be solved with the following formula:  

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} (5)  

Where:  

a=1  

b=-5  

c=0  

Substituting the known values:  

t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(0)}}{2(1)} (6)  

Solving we have the following result:

t=5 s  This means the ball hit the ground 5 seconds after it was kicked by Sara.

Batteries come in packs of 4. Last month, Joe used 58 batteries in his remote control drone. How many packs of batteries did he
vovangra [49]

It is given that batteries come in a packs of 4. It means in each pack there are 4 batteries.

Joe used 58 batteries . So to find the total number of packets of batteries joe has to open is

Number of batteries used / Total number of batteries in each packet

= 58 / 4

= 14.5

The number of battery can not be in decimal. So we will round the answer to integer. If we round it to 14 it means 14 packets. But in 14 packets there are 14*4 = 56 batteries .

But we know that Joe used 58 batteries. So we will round the final answer to 15.

It means Joe has to open 15 packets of batteries.

John bought a bag of lawn fertilizer that will cover 289 square feet. What
erik [133]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
