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

How do I solve this problem

velikii [3]

Answer:

Y= -7x + 1397

Step-by-step explanation:

1047- 872 / 125- 150

175 / -25 reduce to lowest form

7/ -1

M= -7

find y intercept

697= -7(100) +b

697= -700 + b

697 + 700 = b

b= 1397

Answer:

Option E. 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

80:50:20 or 8:5:2. 8 ÷ 15 * 30 = 16 = 16 - 10 = 6. This is the solution.

Option A. 30 + 10 = 40. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option B. 30 + 9 = 39. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option C. 30 + 8 = 38. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option D. 30 + 7 = 37. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option E. 30 + 6 = 36. Correct. The solution equals this answer.

Option E will be the answer.

THE NUMBER 1-10 ARE IN A BAG, YOU TAKE 2 OUT WITHOUT REPLACEMENT. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME

ehidna [41]

Answer:

1 / 18

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME = Number of favorable outcome / Total number of outcomes

Favorable outcome = 1

Total number of outcome (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) = 10

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME = 1 / 10

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER THE SECOND TIME = Number of favorable outcome / Total number of outcomes

Favorable outcome (2,4,6,8,10) = 5

Total number of outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10) = 9

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER THE SECOND TIME = 5/9

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME AND THEN DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER = 1 / 10 * 5 / 9 = 1 / 18
