Answer:

The value of x is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is P = 3 × S, where S is the length of each side

∵ The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches

∴ P = 63 inches

→ By using the rule of the perimeter above

∵ P = 3 × S

→ Equate the right sides of P

∴ 3 × S = 63

→ Divide both sides by 3

∴ S = 21 inches

∴ The length of each side is 21 inches

∵ The length of each side is (4x - 3)

→ Equate (4x - 3) by the length of each side

∴ 4x - 3 = 21

→ Add 3 to both sides

∵ 4x - 3 + 3 = 21 + 3

∴ 4x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 4 to find x

∴ x = 6

∴ The value of x is 6

B is the midpoint of AC. C is the midpoint of AD. Find the coordinates of B and D given the coordinates of A (-2,5) and the coor
GalinKa [24]

B= (3,6) and D= (18,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two given points add X1 and X2 together, then divide by 2 to get the X value of the midpoint and do the same thing for the Y value. That will get you B. From there you can see to get from point A to point C you add 10 to the x value and add 2 to the y value. Because C is the midpoint just double what you had to add to get point D (add 20 to x and add 4 to y)

Answer:

  D)  No Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines have the same slope (-4), but different y-intercepts (3, 0), so they are parallel lines. There can be no values of x and y that satisfy both equations.

There are no solutions.

A contractor combined x tons of a gravel mixture that contained 10 percent gravel G, by weight, with y tons of a mixture that co
White raven [17]

Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{3}{5}y or \frac{3}{8}z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain  5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,          

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

\implies x = \frac{0.03}{0.05}y=\frac{3}{5}y----(1)

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e. z=x+y

\implies y = z - x

From equation (1),

x=\frac{3}{5}(z-x) = \frac{3}{5}z-\frac{3}{5}x

x+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

x=\frac{3}{8}z
