Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
13x-2 = 10x-2
Subtract 10x from each side
13x-10x-2 = 10x-2 -10x
3x-2 = -2
Add 2 for each side
3x-2+2 = -2+2
3x= 0
divide by 3
3x/3 = 0/3
x =0
This isn't really a geometry problem. It's just an addition of fractions.
You know that 'perimeter' means 'the distance all the way around'.
And you know the length of all the sides of the parallelogram.
All you need to do is add them up !
(13/12) + (3/13) + (13/12) + (3/13) = the perimeter
Notice that two of the sides are equal, and the other two sides are also equal.
So you can make the job a little easier if you add up the twelfths first
(13/12) + (13/12) = 26/12
and then add up the thirteenths ...
(3/13) + (3/13) = 6/13 .
Now, the perimeter looks a little bit less complicated.
It's just
(26/12) + (6/13) = the perimeter.
This is the tough part. Before you can add fractions, they need to have
a common denominator.
The smallest common denominator for 12ths and 13ths is <em>156 </em>!
Change each fraction to (<em>something over 156</em>), and add um up.
I'll leave that part to you.
Answer:
-5 1/3 - 3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation
both expressions equal -8 2/3
Plug 35 in for z. Multiply 4 and 35 to get 140 then divide by 7 to get 20
