To solve this algebraically, it is convenient to subtract 2x-7 from both sides of the equation:
3x(x -4) +5 -x -(2x -7) = 0
3x^2 -12x +5 -x -2x +7 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x^2 -15x +12 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
3(x -1)(x -4) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
The values of x that make these factors zero are x=1 and x=4. These are the solutions to the equation. There are two solutions.

<em>Alternate method</em>
Once you get to the quadratic form, you can find the number of solutions without actually finding the solutions. The discriminant is ...
d = b^2 -4ac . . . . where a, b, c are the coefficients in the form ax^2+bx+c
d = (-15)^2 -4(3)(12) = 225 -144 = 81
This positive value means the equation has 2 real solutions.
X = ay

Answer:
that is really so difficult ? what do you not understand here ? please let me know, if you need any further explanations.
you know what the perimeter is ? if it's the circumference, the way around the object. in other words, the distance you have to walk, when going along all sidelines of the object.
so the perimeter is the sum of of all side lengths.
56 = x - 1 + 3x + 3x + 1 = 7x
x = 8
that gives us the side lengths :
x - 1 = 7 cm
3x = 21 cm
3x + 1 = 22 cm
the formula for the area of a triangle
A = baseline × height / 2
the advantage of a right-angled triangle in this regard is that the sides enclosing the 90 degree angle are already "acting" as baseline and the height (standing on the baseline with a 90 degree angle).
so, we can simply say here, the 3x side is the baseline, and the x-1 side is also the height.
therefore,
A = 21×7/2 = 147/2 = 73.5 cm²
Answer:
Work individually or in teams of two to construct and launch paper rockets using a teacher-built PVC-pipe launcher.
Following the flight of their rocket, calculate the altitude their rocket achieved.
Based on the flight performance of their rockets, analyze their rocket designs, modify or rebuild them, launch again, and calculate the altitude achieved to determine if their changes affected the performance of the rocket.
Conclude the activity by writing a post-flight mission report.

There is a little-known theorem to solve this problem.
The theorem says that
In a triangle, the angle bisector cuts the opposite side into two segments in the ratio of the respective sides lengths.
See the attached triangles for cases 1 and 2. Let x be the length of the third side.
Case 1:
Segment 5cm is adjacent to the 7.6cm side, then
x/7.6=3/5 => x=7.6*3/5=
4.56 cm
Case 2:
Segment 3cm is adjacent to the 7.6 cm side, then
x/7.6=5/3 => x=7.6*5/3=
12.67 cmThe theorem can be proved by considering the sine rule on the adjacent triangles ADC and BDC with the common side CD and equal angles ACD and DCB.
