Use a substitution strategy to solve the following problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]2 years ago

Answer:

The length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm perimeter is 12 cm

The length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 82 cm perimeter is 36 cm

The base length of both triangles is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The base length of the triangles are equal

The base length of one of the triangle = The base length of the other triangle

The equal sides of one of the triangles = 3 × The length of the equal sides of the other

The perimeter of the triangles are; 34 cm and 82 cm

Let 'b' represent the base length of each triangle, let 'a' represent the length of an equal side of the smaller triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm and let 'c' represent the length of an equal side of the larger triangle with a perimeter of 82 cm

For the smaller triangle, we have;

b + 2·a = 34..(1)

For the other triangle;

b + 2·c = 82...(2)

Given that the side length of the larger triangle are larger than those of the smaller triangle, and that the side length of the larger triangle is 3 times the side length of the smaller triangle, we get;

c = 3·a

By the substitution method, from equation (2) we get;

b + 2·c = b + 2 × 3·a = b + 6·a = 82

∴ b + 6·a = 82...(3)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (3) gives;

b + 6·a - (b + 2·a) = 82 - 34 = 48

b - b + 6·a - 2·a = 48

4·a = 48

a = 48/4 = 12

The length of the equal sides of the 34 cm perimeter (smaller) isosceles triangle, a = 12 cm

From c = 3·a, and a = 12, we get;

c = 3 × 12 = 36

The length of the equal sides of the 82 cm perimeter (larger) isosceles triangle, c = 36 cm

From equation (1), we get;

b + 2·a = 34

∴ b + 2 × 12 = 34

b = 34 - 2 × 12 = 10

The base length of both triangles, b = 10 cm

Directions: Solve these equations by using addition. You will need to use your fraction and decimal skills to solve these
Marina CMI [18]
One simple way to approach this is to subtract the number that DOESN’T have the variable with the solution by the sum.
Lets use problem 1 as the example:
1.) N+8=13
In this case, we subtract 13 by 8 and get 5, therefore N= 5.

2.) B+17=62
62-17= 45
B= 45

3.) X+5/6= 7/16
7/16-5/6= -19/48
X= -19/48

4.) y+1/7=5/8
5/8-1/7= 27/56
Y= 27/56

5.) 14+y=69
69-14=55
Y=55

6.) c+3.6=4.9
4.9-3.6=1.3
C= 1.3

Now for the word problems:
Lets use 7 as the example-
7.) a number increased by 19 is equal to 221.
Since we don’t know the number being increased by 19, that will be our variable. It will be re-written as so:

N + 19 = 221

Where N is the unknown number.

Using the same method of subtracting by the sum and the number that’s not the variable, we’ll get the solution to N
221-19= 202
N= 202

8.) N + 1 2/3 = 8
8 - 1 2/3 = 19/3= 6 1/3
N= 6 1/3

I really hope this helps

How to factorise 9a^2bc^3 -27abc
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

9abc(ac² - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given polynomial:</u>

  • 9a²bc³ -27abc

<u>Factors of the terms:</u>

  • 9a²bc³ = 3*3*a*a*b*c*c*c
  • 27abc = 3*3*3*a*b*c

<u>Common factors of the above: </u>

  • 3*3*a*b*c= 9abc

<u>So the answer:</u>

  • 9a²bc³ -27abc = 9abc(ac² - 3)

Pose a question for which a two-way table is appropriate. Be creative here!
arlik [135]
Define an issue that is important to you (politics, medicine, social media, education, etc.), and think about some things you might want to know about this issue. Briefly explain your issue and what you hope to learn or understand. Pose a question for which a two-way table is appropriate. Be creative here! Collect data from at least 20 people (or other sources). Display your data in a two-way frequency table like the one shown below. Your table can have more rows or columns if you need them. I am not quite sure of what the question is supposed to be.
