A triangle has a perimeter of 165 cm. The first side is 65 cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 10 cm less than

the second side. Find the length of each side of the triangle. What equation represents the length of the third side if the second side is length s?

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST, we need variables. Once we define variables, it's much easier to turn this word problem into a math problem.

Let a = first side

Let b = second side

Let c = third side

NOW, we can turn the words into equations:

"a triangle has a perimeter of 165 cm."

a + b + c = 165

"the first side is 65cm less than twice the second side."

a = 2b - 65

"the third side is 10cm less than the second side."

c = b - 10

Before we finish, I have to ask: Who writes problems like this??? Pointless problems like these are why kids don't like math! Ugh. Drives me crazy. It's a shame, because solving math problems really does have a certain satisfaction, once you learn how. [Okay. I'm done. Back to the problem.]

If we could get this to have only one variable, we could solve it. Substitution to the rescue!

a + b + c = 165 (rewrote equation from above)

(2b - 65) + b + (b - 10) = 165 (substituted "a" and "c" from equations above)

See how that works? Let's solve it.

2b - 65 + b + b - 10 = 165 (dropped the parentheses, because there was nothing to distribute, not even a minus sign)

4b - 75 = 165 (combined like terms)

4b = 240 (added 75 to both sides)

b = 60 (divided both sides by 4)

We found the second side! We can find the first and third sides using those equations from above:

a = 2b - 65

a = 2*60 - 65

a = 120 - 65

a = 55

c = b - 10

c = 60 - 10

c = 50

All done.

Yes your answers are correct :)

Step by step review:

First line has product of 5 and (x+2) so product property is good.

2nd line has division so quotient property is good.

3rd line has equal log with base 2 so equality property is good.

4th line has multiplication so that is also good

5th line has distribution of 5 and 7 so distributive property is good.

Your answer is correct.

Problem 8-19 Because of high tuition costs at state and private universities, enrollments at community colleges have increased d
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

a) find the attached graph

b) find the attachment no 4 and 5

c)T_{10}= 4.72+1.46(10) = 19.28

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A trend pattern exist if the time series plot gradually shifts to higher or lower values over a long period of time

find the attached graph

b) Liner Trend Equation

T_{1} =b_{0} +b_{1}t

Where T_{1} is the linear trend forecast in period t , b_{0} is the intercept of the linear trend time, b_{1} is the slope of the linear trend line, t is the time period

now computing the slope and intercept

<u>formula is attached ( 3 no attachment)</u>

Y_{t} is the value of the time series in period t, n is the number of time periods

Y(bar) is the average value and t(bar) is the average value of t

<u><em>due to unavailability of equation in math-script i attached the calculation part of this question( 4th and 5th no attachment)</em></u>

thus the linear trend equation is T_{t}= 4.72+1.46t                         (1)

T_{10}= 4.72+1.46(10) = 19.28

Can someone on help me 20 points!
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

No probability numbers have been assigned to the branches, so there is insufficient information.

We note that "at least one head" includes all 7 branches above the last one (which is all tails). If the probabilities are all equal, then ...

  p(h > 0) = 7/8
