My name is Ann [436]3 years ago

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

All the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, hence the perimeter is expressed as P = 3s

s is one of the side length

Given  DE = 5x - 8

P = 3DE

P = 3(5x-8)

36 = 3(5x-8)

36/3 = 5x-8

12 = 5x - 8

5x = 12+9

5x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 4

Hence the value of x is 4

So divide factions ex: 6/2 divide 3/2 will bring down the first faction 6/2 then the always flip the second faction 2/3 to make it 2/3 the you have 6/2 divide 2/3, now you multiple 6/2 times 2/3 so how many times does 3 go in6 so the 3 will be 1 and the 6 will be 2 now 2 and 2 both will come 1 because 2 goes in both of them 1 time and the answer is 2/1

When you roast coffee, it loses 12% of its weight. how much fresh coffee do you need in order to get 14 2/25 lb of roasted coffe
Komok [63]

Answer:

16 lb of fresh coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x pound be the  amount of fresh coffee needed.

100 - 12 = 88%  is equivalent to 14 2/25  of roasted coffee.

By proportion  x = 14 2/25  /  88/100

= 352 / 25 * 100/88

= 35200 / 25 * 88

= 16 lb  (answer).

Logo y = x means: log base b of y equals x.<br> True<br> False
KatRina [158]

If you meant to write \log_{b}(y) = x then the statement is true.

As a more concrete example, something like \log_3(81) = 4 would be read out as "log base 3 of 81 is equal to 4".
