The perimeters of the triangles shown below are equal

Mathematics

natulia [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all of its side lengths. Therefore, the perimeter of the first triangle is x-7+x-7+x-7=3x-21 and the perimeter of the second triangle is 9+15+12=36.

We are given that the perimeters of the triangles are equal, so 3x-21 equals 36. As an equation, that would be 3x-21=36. Solving for x, we get:

3x-21=36

3x=57 (Add 21 to both sides of the equation to isolate x)

x=19 (Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of x's coefficient)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the right triangle is

P=9+12+15 =36

The perimeter of the left triangle is

P =x-7+ x-7+ x-7 = 3x-21

Set them equal

36 = 3x-21

Add 21 to each side

36+21 = 3x-21+21

57 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

57/3 = 3x/3

19 =x

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction. One plane is flying at twice the speed of the oth
olasank [31]

Answer:

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

The speed of the first plane is x.

The speed of the second plane is y.

One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other.

I will say that y = 2x. We could also say that x = 2y.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction

They fly in the same direction, so their relative speed(difference) at the end of each hour is y - x = 2x - x = x.

If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane

After 1 hour, they will be x km apart. After 4, 1800. So

1 hour - x km apart

4 hours - 1800 km apart

4x = 1800

x = 1800/4

x = 450

2x = 2*450 = 900

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

A function, f(x) = 4x + 5, has a domain 0 < x < 50. What is its range?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

f(x) = 4x+5 ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 50

 

The range is the possible output values of f(x)

 

4(0) + 5 = 5       smallest output value in range

4(50) + 5 = 55    largest output value in range

 

The outputs are between 5 and 55 including the endpoints so

the range is [5, 55]

Answer:

x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-1=2x2 (calculate the product)

3x-1=4x (move terms)

3 x - 4 x =1 (collect the terms)

- x = 1 (change the signs)

Solution is x = -1
