The little lines on each side of the rhombus mean that all the sides are the same length.
We can set line LM and MN equal to solve for X, then we can solve the length of a side.
3x-3 = x+7
Add 3 to each side:
3x = x +10
Subtract x from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
x = 5
Now we have the value for x, replace x in one of the side formulas:
x +7 = 5+7 = 12
Each side = 12 units.
The perimeter would be 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48 units.
Answer: b)
Step-by-step explanation:
3^3 is equal to 27 exactly, but it asks for an approximate. 27.55 is near 27 so yea, there ya go ^

Answer:
about 70 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Life expectancy (e) improves by 5.7 years every 10 years, so 5.7/10 = 0.57 years per year. For t years after 2009, it can be modeled by ...
e = 0.57t +80
We want to find when that is 120:
120 = 0.57t +80
40 = 0.57t
40/0.57 = t ≈ 70.2
About 70 years from 2009, humanity may achieve a life expectancy of 120 years.
