Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangle measure: 'x', '4x-2' and '4x-2' since isosceles means both legs are equal

perimeter is the sum of all sides, so set up equation:

95 = 4x - 2 + 4x - 2 + x

95 = 8x - 4 + x

95 = 9x - 4

99 = 9x

x = 11

A chef is going to use a mixture two different brands of Italian dressing the first spring and days 5% vinegar the second brain
Temka [501]

I guess the chef is making the mixture for the sheriff... Let <em>x</em> be the amount of dressing with 5% vinegar that is required, and <em>y</em> the amount of 15% vinegar dressing (both amounts in mL).

The sheriff wants 390 mL of the mixed dressing, so that

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 390

<em>x</em> mL of the 5% dressing contains 0.05<em>x</em> mL of vinegar, while <em>y</em> mL of the 15% dressing contains 0.15<em>y</em> mL of vinegar. The resulting mixture should have a concentration of 9% vinegar, so that it contains 0.09 (390 mL) = 35.1 mL of vinegar. This means

0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15<em>y</em> = 35.1

Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 390 - <em>x</em>

0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15 (390 - <em>x</em>) = 35.1

0.05<em>x</em> + 58.5 - 0.15<em>x</em> = 35.1

23.4 = 0.10<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 234

<em>y</em> = 156

Urgent. Factor the trinomial by grouping. Please show work. 14x^2y+9xy^2+y^3. If prime, show how you got prime answer.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

y x (2x +y) x (7x +y)

Step-by-step explanation:

14x^2y + 9xy^2 +y^3

(Factor the expression)

y x (14x^2 +9xy +y^2)

(Rewrite the expression)

y x (14x^2 + 7xy +2xy +y^2)

(Factor the expression)

y x (7x x(2x +y) + y x (2x +y) )

(Factor the expression)

y x (2x +y) x (7x +y)

Solve for x.<br>A. x =9<br>B. x = 3<br>C. x = 4<br>D. x = 27
meriva
Your formula for this is 9^{2} =x(24+x) and 81=24x+ x^{2}.  Get everything on one side of the equals sign, set it equal to 0 and factor.  When you do this you get (x-3)(x+27). The Zero Product Property rule tells us that either x-3 = 0 or x+27 = 0 and that x = 3 and -27.  The only thing in math that will NEVER be negative besides time is distance/length, therefore, x cannot be 27 and has to be 3.

Explain how you know the quotients 540÷90 and 5,400 ÷ 900 are equal without doing any computation..
Lelechka [254]
The quotients are equal because they both go in the same number of times. The second pair of quotients just have an extra 0 at the end which just changes the place value of the number.
