The perimeter of a triangle is 17x-5 units. One side is 3.x + 5 units and another is 8x-3 units. How many units long is the thir

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

C = 6x - 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three sides of the triangle = A, B, and C respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter of triangle, P = 17x-5 units

Side A = 3x+5 units

Side B = 8x-3 units

To find side C?

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = A + B + C

Making "C" the subject of formula, we have;

C = P - A - B

Substituting into the equation, we have

C = 17x - 5 - (3x + 5) - (8x - 3)

C = 17x - 5 - 3x - 5 - 8x + 3

Collecting the like terms, we have;

C = 17x - 3x - 8x - 5 - 5 + 3

C = 6x - 7 units

Therefore, the third side is 6x - 7 units long.

Emily needs enough Fabric for 3 1/2 hats. Since she has half a hat done. If each bag requires 1 2/7 ft of Fabric, how much fabri

kow [346]

first off let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{2}{7}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 7+2}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{7}}$

she already did half a hat, so we can say $\cfrac{7}{2}-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{7-1}{2}\implies 3$

so she only needs enough fabric to make 3 more full hats, we know each one uses 9/7 ft, so

$3\cdot \cfrac{9}{7}\implies \cfrac{27}{7}\implies 3\frac{6}{7}$

20 people applied for a job. Everyone either has a school certificate or diploma or even both. If 14 have school certificates an

STatiana [176]

Given:

Either has a school certificate or diploma or even both = 20 people

Having school certificates = 14

Having diplomas = 11

To find:

The number of people who have a school certificate only.

Solution:

Let A be the set of people who have school certificates and B be the set of people who have diplomas.

According to the given information, we have

$n(A)=14$

$n(B)=11$

$n(A\cup B)=20$

We know that,

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)$

$20=14+11-n(A\cap B)$

$20=25-n(A\cap B)$

Subtract both sides by 25.

$20-25=-n(A\cap B)$

$-5=-n(A\cap B)$

$5=n(A\cap B)$

We need to find the number of people who have a school certificate only, i.e. $n(A\cap B')$ .

$n(A\cap B')=n(A)-n(A\cap B)$

$n(A\cap B')=14-5$

$n(A\cap B')=9$

Therefore, 9 people have a school certificate only.
