<u>ANSWER:  </u>

The length of a side of the triangle is 17 inches.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 15 inches more than the perimeter of square.

And the side of the triangle is 8 inches longer than the side of the square.

Let the length of the side of a triangle be x.

And the length of the side of a square be y.

perimeter of triangle = a + b + c , where a , b, c represents side

perimeter of square = a + a + a +a , where a represents side

Given, the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 15 inches more than the perimeter of square.  Hence we form a equation as

Then, x + x + x = 15 + y + y + y + y

3x = 15 + 4y ---- (1)

Now, given that, x = 8 + y ---- (2)

Substitute (2) in (1)

3(8 + y) = 15 + 4y

24 + 3y = 15 + 4y

4y – 3y = 24 – 15

y = 9

Now, substitute y value in (2)

x = 8 + 9  = 17

Hence, the length of a side of the triangle is 17 inches.

What are the possible values of x if (4x – 5)2 = 49?
STatiana [176]
2(4x - 5) = 49
8x - 10 = 49
8x - 10 + 10 = 49 + 10
8x = 59
8x/8 = 59/8
x = 7.375

For a daily airline flight between two cities, the number of pieces of checked luggage has a mean of 380 and a standard deviatio
Olegator [25]
<span>Since one standard deviation is 20 luggages, 3 standard deviations above the mean is 3*20=60 luggages above the mean of 380 luggages, so 60+380 gives the answer C, 440.</span>

If f(x) = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B9%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\frac{1}{9}" alt="\frac{1}{9}" align=
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Solution given:

f(x) = \frac{1}{9} x-2

let f(x)=y

y = \frac{1}{9} x-2

interchanging role of x and y

x= \frac{1}{9} y-2

x+2= \frac{1}{9} y

y=9(x+2)

y=9x+18

So

<u>F</u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u>(</u><u>x</u><u>)</u><u>=</u><u>9</u><u>x</u><u>+</u><u>1</u><u>8</u>

<u>a</u><u>n</u><u>d</u>

<u>F</u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u>(</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>=</u><u>9</u><u>*</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>+</u><u>1</u><u>8</u><u>=</u><u>-</u><u>9</u><u>+</u><u>1</u><u>8</u><u>=</u><u>9</u>

Evaluate the expression when x= -5.2 and y = –6.8.<br> 4x-7y
vfiekz [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute variables with given values

Minus sign becomes plus sign if a negative is multiplied by a negative or a negative is put next to a negative number.

4x-7y=4(-5.2)-7(-6.8)

-20.8+47.6=26.8
