Complete question :

triangle QRS is an equilateral triangle. If QR is seventeen more than twice x, RS is 19 less than six times x, and QS is one less than four times x, find x and the measure of each side.

Answer:

x = 9

All sides have 35 units length

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: Equilateral triangles have 3 sides, all of equal length.

QR = 2x + 17

RS = 6x - 19

QS = 4x - 1

Take :

QR = RS = QS

To find x

QR = RS

2x + 17 = 6x - 19

2x - 6x = - 19 - 17

-4x = - 36

x = 9

QR = 2(9) + 17 = 35

RS = 6(9) - 19 = 35

QS = 4(9) - 1 = 35

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation x^2-7x-6=0
olganol [36]

Answer:

\frac{7\pm\sqrt{73}} {2}

Explanation:

We have been given with the quadratic equation x^2-7x-6=0

We have general formula to find the roots of a quadratic equation first we find the discriminant with formula

D=b^{2}-4ac

and after that to find the variable suppose x we have the formula

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}} {2a}

And general quadratic equation is

ax^2+bx+c=0

On comparing the given quadratic equation with genral quadratic equation we will have values

a=1, b=-7 and c=-6

After substituting these values in the formula we will get  

D=(-7)^2-4(1)(-6)={73}

After substituting in the formula to find x we will get

\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{73}} {2}= \frac{7\pm\sqrt{73}} {2}

A scientist finds the distances d that two snakes travel in a time of t seconds. the equation 16t = d represents the relationshi
wlad13 [49]
From the equation given, the time for the black mamba snake to cover distance d, will be d/16 while that for the the rought-scaled snake would be d/1.5.
Assume that the distance covered by both snakes is 200 meters;
Then, 
Time taken by the black mamba is 200/16  = 12.5 seconds, and
Time taken by the rought-scaled snake is 200/1.5 = 133.33 seconds
Clearly the black mamba is faster at 12.5 seconds compared with the rought-scaled snake.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

<h2>Neither </h2><h2></h2>

2y = 3x - 4

y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel means the lines never cross. These two lines cross. Perpendicular means they cross and form a 90° angle.

the Hog's head pub decide to make mixture thst is 50% butterbeer. how much of an 80% butterbeer solution should mixed with 20 ga
evablogger [386]
There are 20 gallons of 20% butterbeer solution.
Assume there are x gallons of 80% solution.

So total amount of the solution will be (x+20) gallons
The final solution is 50%.

So, we can set up the equation as:

0.2(20)+0.8(x)=0.5(x+20) \\ \\ 4+0.8x=0.5x+10 \\ \\ 0.8x-0.5x=10-4 \\ \\ 0.3x=6 x=20.

Thus, there will be 20 gallons of 80% butterbeer solution that is needed to be mixed with 20 gallons of 20% butterbeer solution.
