9 and 1/2 is the answer. We can find this by simply subtract 1 1/2 from 12.
Answer:
Shira: x = 8
Samuel: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.
Correct Solving:
2x - 2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides;
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2;
x = 8
Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.
Correct Solving:
-2(8m + 8) = -16
Distribute;
-16m - 16 = -16
Add 16 to both sides;
-16m = 0
Divide both sides by -16;
m = 0
Hope this helps :) good luck!!!
The cheap answer is, you simply "grab the denominator of one and multiply it times the other's top and bottom", so let's do so,
Answer:
all sides are 7 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is equilateral then all 3 sides are equal in length
equate any 2 sides and solve for d
KL = LM
d + 2 = 12 - d ( add d to both sides )
2d + 2 = 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2d = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
d = 5
KL = d + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
LM = 12 - d = 12 - 5 = 7
KM = 4d - 13 = (4 × 5) - 13 = 20 - 13 = 7
