Answer:
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape. To calculate the perimeter, sum the lengths of all the sides.
Therefore, perimeter of the triangle = (2x - 8) + (2x + 5) + (30 - 3x)
Collect like terms: 2x + 2x - 3x - 8 + 5 + 30
Combine like terms: x + 27
Therefore, perimeter of triangle = x + 27
We are told that the perimeter is 25:
x + 27 = 25
Subtract 27 from both sides: x = -2
If x = -2, then the side with equation 2x - 8 = (2 x -2) - 8 = -12
A length cannot be negative, therefore the perimeter cannot equal 25.
Answer:
what are the available options then I can answer
Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2.8 + 2x = 0.6 x 8
2.8 x + 2x = 4.8
2x = 4.8 - 2.8 (subtract 2.8 on both sides)
2x = 2
x = 1 (divide 2 on both sides)
Hope this helps
