Answer:

C = 6x - 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three sides of the triangle = A, B, and C respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter of triangle, P = 17x-5 units

Side A = 3x+5 units

Side B = 8x-3 units

To find side C?

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = A + B + C

Making "C" the subject of formula, we have;

C = P - A - B

Substituting into the equation, we have

C = 17x - 5 - (3x + 5) - (8x - 3)

C = 17x - 5 - 3x - 5 - 8x + 3

Collecting the like terms, we have;

C = 17x - 3x - 8x - 5 - 5 + 3

C = 6x - 7 units

Therefore, the third side is 6x - 7 units long.

Figure ABCD is transformed to obtain figure A′B′C′D′:
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

<u>Part A</u>

  1. Reflect over the y-axis:  (x, y) → (-x, y)
    A (-4, 4) → (4, 4)
    B (-2, 2) → (2, 2)
    C (-2, -1) → (2, -1)
    D (-4, 1) → (4, 1)
  2. Shift 4 units down:  (x, y-4)
    (4, 4-4) → A' (4, 0)
    (2, 2-4) → B' (2, -2)
    (2, -1-4) → C' (2, -5)
    (4, 1-4) → D' (4, -3)

<u>Part B</u>

Two figures are <u>congruent</u> if they have the same shape and size.  (They are allowed to be rotated, reflected and translated, but not resized).

Therefore, ABCD and A'B'C'D' are congruent.  They are the same shape and size as they have only be reflected and translated.

Suppose that x and y vary inversely, and x = 7 and y=11. Which function models the inverse variation?Answers:Y=1.57xY=77/xY=4/xY
sdas [7]

Answer:

Y=77/x

Explanation:

Y varies inversely with x meaning

y\propto\frac{1}{x}

adding a proportionality constant gives

y\propto\frac{k}{x}

Now, we are told that y = 11 and x = 7; therefore, the above gives

11=\frac{k}{7}

Solving for k gives

k=77

Therefore, the function that models the inverse variation is

y=\frac{77}{x}

which is our answer!

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. What fractional part of a house can 4 people frame a house in
Alina [70]

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. That means it will take one person 10\times6=60 days to finish the house.

Which means that it will take 4 people \frac{60}{4}=15 days to finish the house.

So, the fractional part of the house 4 people can frame in 3 days will be \frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}

Thus, Option D is the correct answer.
