Answer:

$area = length \times width \\ = (2x + 7)(3x - 4) \\ = (6 {x}^{2} - 8x + 21x - 28) \\ = (6 {x}^{2} + 13x - 28) \: sq \: units$

Lin’s father is paying for a $20 meal.

timofeeve [1]

$15.81

15% of $20 is $3 so subtract that from $20 and u get $17.
Then 7% of $17 is $1.19 so subtract that from $17 and you get $15.81, which is the amount Lin’s father would pay for the meal in the end.

Another reason why I hate math

We know 623.1 because 40 times 12 = 480 add with the area of the triangle which is 1/2 * 12 *5 = 30, and the circle A=πr2=π·62≈113.09734, and add them up to equal 623.1 square feet

Answer:

I am pretty sure its D

Step-by-step explanation: If you add 62 + 75 it would equal 137. Than you would have to subtract that from 180 which would give you 43.

A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3084 mi. The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side, and the longest side

kari74 [83]

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Explanation

Step 1

Let

x represents the shortest side

y represents the middle side

z represents the longest side

so, set the equations

a) the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides, so

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter= side1+side2+side3} \\ replace \\ 3084=x+y+z \\ x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \end{gathered}$

b) The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side( in other words, you have to subtract 76 from middle side to get the shortest side)

$x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2)$

c) and the longest side measures 379 mi more than the middle side,( in other words, you have to add 379 to middle side to obtain the longest side)

$z=y+379\Rightarrow equation(3)$

Step 2

solve the equations

a) now, replace the x an z value sfrom equation (2) and (3) into equation(1)

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ (y-76)+y+(y+379)=3084 \\ -76+3y+379=3084 \\ 303+3y=3084 \\ 3y=3084-303 \\ \\ 3y=2781 \\ \text{divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2781}{3} \\ y=927 \end{gathered}$

now, replace the y value in equatino (2) to find x

b)

$\begin{gathered} x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x=927-76 \\ x=851 \end{gathered}$

c) finally, prelace x and y value in equation (1) to find z

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ 851+927+z=3084 \\ \text{add like terms} \\ 1778+z=3084 \\ \text{subtract 1778 in both sides} \\ 1778+z-1778=3084-1778 \\ z=1306 \end{gathered}$

so

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

I hope this helps you
