Mathematics

My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
3 0

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

Variable c is 5 more than variable
shutvik [7]
First, let us restate the given conditions

c is 5 more than variable a ( c = a + 5)
c is also three less than variable a (c = a - 3)

Now, lets look at the answer choices and or given
c = a − 5 
c = a + 3
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified

a = c + 5
a = 3c − 3 
Here, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So,
Simplified version :
c = a - 5
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified


a = c − 5
a = 3c + 3
Here also, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So, 
simplified version:
c = a + 5
Here, c is 5 more than "a"...so we continue
c = (a - 3) / 3
Here, c is 3 less than "a" <u>divided by 3</u><u /> . So, this is not correct

c = a + 5
c = a − 3
Here, c is 5 more than "A"
Also, c is 3 less than "a"
Which satisfies the given.

 So, our answer is going to be the last one:
 
 c = a + 5
 c = a - 3
