Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this information, we can form an equation.

Since there are 3 sides in a triangle, and each side increased by 6, that means that the perimeter increased by 18 inches. Down below, I did 3x because there are 3 sides in a triangle.

(This is the equation you'd want to do to get the answer)

3x + 3 * 6 = 60

Simplify:

3x + 18 = 60

Same to both sides

3x = 42

Isolate x:

x = 14

898÷91,596 what is the answer
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

For 100, your answer will be 102; For 898, your answer will be x; 100*x = 102*898 ... 102/x = 100/898 or x/102 = 898/100; x = 898*102/100 = 91596/100 = 915.96.

Hope this helps ∝

Y-2 = -3(x + 6), write the equation of the line in slope intercept form.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y = -3x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Given: y - 2 = -3(x + 6)

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to know the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b). By looking at the given equation, we can see that the slope is -3. We are also given the value of one point: (-6, 2).

To find the y-intercept, input the given values of the slope and the point into the equation format and solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = -3(-6) + b

2 = 18 + b

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation to isolate b:

2 - 18 = 18 - 18 + b

-16 = b

The y-intercept is -16.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = -3x - 16

If f(x) = − 5, what is f(8. 6)? 3 4 8 9.
julsineya [31]

The value of f(8.6) is -5.

Given that

If f(x) = − 5,

We have to determine

What is f(8.6)?

According to the question

This function is independent of x.  

There is no term associated with x on the function.

f(x) = − 5,

The given is not dependent on the variable it is an independent function.

Then,

\rm  f(x) = - 5 = f(8.6)\\\\f(8.6)=-5

Hence, the value of f(8.6) is -5.
