Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
Hello!
3x/4 + 6=42
3x/4=42-6 = 36
3x = 36*4
3x = 144
x= 144/3 =48
3/4 of 48 = (48*3) / 4 =36
36+6=42
the original number is 48
The perimeter is the measure around the shape, so just add all the sides together-
6+5x+x+2
6x+8
Since this is a right triangle, you multiply the legs (6 and x+2) and divide by 2
6(x+2)
6x+12
/2
3x+6
Solve the first equation for y.
3x+y=2
y=2-3x
Substitute
4x+(2-3x)=20
4x+2-3x=20
x=18
