Answer:
<h2>1. 14 in</h2><h2>2. 28 in.</h2><h2>3. 43 in</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
x 2x 3x + 1
|---------|-------------------|---------------------------|
|<-------------------- 85 in ------------------------>|
85 = x + 2x + 3x + 1
85 - 1 = 6x
x = 84 / 6
x = 14
1st piece = 14 in
2nd piece = 2(14) = 28 in
3rd piece = 3(14) + 1 = 43 in
----------------------------
total = 85 in
The property displayed here is the distributive property.
If you have a variable or unknown number inside or outside of parentheses, you can distribute it to each term and add the terms together, and it will remain true.
Example:
4(x + 5)
After distributing, it'll look like this:
4x + 20
Answer:
1. No solution
2. Infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To solve the system, set the equations equal to each other and solve for x.
2x - 5 = 2x + 7
-5 = 7
This is a false statement. This means there is no solution.
2. To solve the system, graph each equation.
y = -3/4 x - 5/2 has a y-intercept -5/2 and slope -3/4.
3x + 4y = -10 converts to y = -3/4x -5/2.
This graphs as the exact same line. This system has infinite solutions.
Answer: 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
hypotenuse = 5*y in
cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in
cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in
The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:
5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76
5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76
We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.
The shorter leg is x + 3, then:
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
Then we have the equations:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.
x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20
x = 5*y - 20
Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76
15*y - 40 + 13 = 76
15*y - 29 = 76
15*y = 76 + 29 = 105
and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:
3*(5*y) = 105
5*y = 105/3 = 35
5*y = 35
Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
6(x + y) + (x - y)
<em>use distributive property</em>
= 6x + 6y + x - y
<em>combine like terms</em>
= (6x + x) + (6y - y)
<h3>= 7x + 6y</h3>
