The perimeters of the triangles shown below are equal

Mathematics

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

sesenic [268]
I think in commutative properties of multiplication:
70 x 6000 = 70 x 6000
420,000   =  420,000

I don't know associative properties, only commutative properties. Sorry :(

What is y=1/2x+4 in standard form?
zhuklara [117]
<h3>Answer:  x-2y = -8</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction

y = (1/2)x+4

2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]

2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4

2y = x + 8

Then move the x term over to the left side

2y = x+8

2y-x = 8

-x+2y = 8

Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1

-x+2y = 8

-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8

x-2y = -8

This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8

The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
