Answer:

2(x-3)+2x=54

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the side length of the rectangle as x

For the perimeter we must have - as we also have 2 lots of a side that is 3 inches shorter than x.

$2x + 2(x-3) = 54$

Guys I need the answers to number 16

Umnica [9.8K]

#16: Let's clear the fraction on the way to solving this inequality for x. By mult. the given inequality by 2, we'll get -2 (is greater than) x+4. We want x to be positive. So, leave it where it is. Subtract 4 from both sides of this inequality. We end up with -6 (is greater than) x, which is the same thing as x (is less than) -6. What would the graph of that simple inequality look like?

Graph it. (Hint: The graph is a straight dashed line, and you must shade one side of it, but not the other side.

Question regarding logarithms.

Eddi Din [679]

$5^{x-2}-7^{x-3}=7^{x-5}+11\cdot5^{x-4}\\\\5^{x-2}-7^{x-2-1}=7^{x-2-3}+11\cdot5^{x-2-2}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\5^{x-2}-\dfrac{7^{x-2}}{7^1}=\dfrac{7^{x-2}}{7^3}+11\cdot\dfrac{5^{x-2}}{5^2}\\\\5^{x-2}-\dfrac{1}{7}\cdot7^{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{343}\cdot7^{x-2}+\dfrac{11}{25}\cdot5^{x-2}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{7}\cdot7^{x-2}-\dfrac{1}{343}\cdot7^{x-2}=\dfrac{11}{25}\cdot5^{x-2}-5^{x-2}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{343}\right)\cdot7^{x-2}=\left(\dfrac{11}{25}-1\right)\cdot5^{x-2}$

$\left(-\dfrac{49}{343}-\dfrac{1}{343}\right)\cdot7^{x-2}=-\dfrac{14}{25}\cdot5^{x-2}\\\\-\dfrac{50}{343}\cdot7^{x-2}=-\dfrac{14}{25}\cdot5^{x-2}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \left(-\dfrac{25}{14}\right)\\\\\dfrac{50\cdot25}{343\cdot14}\cdot7^{x-2}=5^{x-2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ 7^{x-2}\\\\\dfrac{25\cdot25}{343\cdot7}=\dfrac{5^{x-2}}{7^{x-2}}\qquad\text{use}\ \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^n=\dfrac{a^n}{b^n}$

$\dfrac{5^2\cdot5^2}{7^3\cdot7}=\left(\dfrac{5}{7}\right)^{x-2}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\\dfrac{5^4}{7^4}=\left(\dfrac{5}{7}\right)^{x-2}\\\\\left(\dfrac{5}{7}\right)^4=\left(\dfrac{5}{7}\right)^{x-2}\iff x-2=4\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=6}$

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!

makvit [3.9K]

A) (0,0) and (3,1)

1-0 divided by 3-0

Slope is 1/3

the slope represents the relationship between x and y

b) (6,2) and (-3,-1)

-1-2 divided by -3-6

Slope is 1/3

c) yes, the two triangles represent the same slope as all of the four points used are collinear (on the same line), making all the slopes equal.
