The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 6 inches, so the perimeter is now 60 inches. What was the ori

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

At a movie theatre adult tickets cost $10 and child ticjets cost $6. Which equation can be used to find s, the number of dollars
timurjin [86]

Answer:

s = 10k + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Adults ticket = $10 per adult

Cost of Ticket = $6 per child

Number of adults = k

Number of Children = 5

s = Total cost

Total cost = (Cost per adult * number of adults) + (Cost per child * Number of children)

s = ($10 * k) + ($6 * 5)

s = $10k + $30

s = 10k + 30

Determine and state the coordinates of the center and length of the radius of a circle whose equation is
padilas [110]
First, rewrite the equation in standard form.
The center-radius form of the circle equation<span> is in the format:
(x – h)^</span>2<span> + (y – k)^</span>2<span> = r^</span>2
<span>with the center being at the </span>point<span> (h, k) and the radius being "r".
</span>
(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 81

From here, you can determine the center and radius. The center is at (3,-4) and the radius is 9.

How do u do b??????????
horrorfan [7]

the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.

the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.

a)

if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6  = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.

b)

clearly we can never get an output  of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.

let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so

\bf \underset{final~out put}{\stackrel{y}{-5}}=x^2-6\implies 1=x^2\implies \sqrt{1}=x\implies 1=x

so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.

\bf \underset{first~out put}{\stackrel{y}{1}}=\sqrt{x-5}\implies 1^2=x-5\implies 1=x-5\implies 6=x

so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.

\bf \stackrel{first~machine}{y=\sqrt{\boxed{6}-5}}\implies y=\sqrt{1}\implies y=1 \\\\\\ \stackrel{second~machine}{y = \boxed{1}^2-6}\implies y = 1-6\implies y = -5
