Set measurements equal to each other.
7X + 20 = 8X + 8
-7X -7X
20 = X + 8
-8 -8
ANSWER: X=12
Answer:
x = 1?
Step-by-step explanation:
I think functions are basically just variables but extra so they both act the same. I'm not 100% sure but I Think
if f(x) = -5x + 1 when f(x) = 6,
replace f(x) with 6 so,
6 = 5x + 1
1 - 6 = 5x + 1 - 1
(subtract one on both sides to isolate the variable)
5 = 5x
5/5 = 5x/5
(to Actually isolate the variable lol
1 = x or x = 1
I believe is the answer? please comment if I'm wrong
*I WAS TOLD MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS WRONG ANYONE WHO SEES THIS PLEASE DISREGARD
The simple way of calculating a perimeter is to add all of the sides.
For a rectangle this would equal 2 x length + 2 x width
P = 2(6x + 3) + 2(-2x - 5)
= 12x + 6 - 4x - 10
= 8x - 4
At a higher level both the length and width must be greater than zero (= zero is a trivial rectangle)
6x + 3 > 0
6x > -3
x > -0.5
-2x - 5 > 0
2x + 5 < 0 (multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality)
2x < -5
x < -2.5
This rectangle cannot exist as x cannot be < -2.5 and > -0.5 at the same time!
f( x ) = - 1/3 x + 5
