Answer:

x = - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x-4) = -9(x - 1)

1. Distributive Property

-3 * x -3 *-4 = -9 * x -9 * -1

-3x + 12 = -9x + 9

Hint: 2 negatives make a postive

-3x + 12 = -9x + 9

2. Subtract 12 on both sides

-3x + 12 - 12 = -9x + 9 - 12

-3x = -9x + -3

3. Add 9x on both sides

-3x + 9x = -9x + 9x + -3

6x = -3

4. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the variable

6x/6 = -3/6

x = - 1/2

Check:

-3(-1/2-4) = -9( -1/2- 1)

3/2 + 12 = 9/2 + 9

3/2 + 12 ( we need a common denominator so...lets make it  2 )

3/2 + 12*2/1*2

3/2 + 24/2 = 27/2 = 13 1/2 = 13. 5

Now...

9/2 + 9 ( we need a common denominator so..lets make it 2 )

9/2 + 9*2/1*2

9/2 + 18/2 = 27/2 = 13 1/2 = 13.5

13.5 = 13.5 CORRECT!

27/2 = improper fraction

13 1/2 = mixed number

13.5= decimal form

Hope this helped

Three line segments have measures of 18, 12, and 10 Will the segments form a triangle?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Yes, the given segments will form a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Condition: If sum of the measures of any two segments of a triangle is greater than the third segment, then they will form a triangle.

  • Lengths of the given segments are 18, 12 and 10 units.
  • 18 + 12 = 30 > 10
  • 12 + 10 = 22 > 18
  • 10 + 18 = 28 > 12

Here, lengths of the given segments obey the above mentioned condition. So, they will form a triangle.

Please use system of linear equations by elimination OR substitution. I need the work as well please.
Olin [163]

1) P= 64 cm, width = x, length = 14 + x

64 = x + x + 14 + x + 14 + x

64 = 4x + 28

4x = 64 - 28

4x = 36

x = 36/ 4

x = 9

AREA = 9 x (9+14)

Area = 9 x 23

Area = 207 cm

2) smaller no. = y, bigger no. = x

x - y = 3

2x+1/2y=36

Next, multiply 2 to first equation and find y:

2x-2y=6

5/2y=30

y = 12

Substitue y to x-y=3 to find x,

x = 15

3) x = pencil, y = pen

5x + 4y = $6.15

8x + 3y = 9.85$

8x + 7y = ?

5x + 4y = 6.15$ multiply both sides by -3

8x + 3y = 9.85$ multiply both sides by 4

-15x + 32x = (-3)*6.15 + 4*9.85

7x = 19.87 multiply both sides by 8/7

8x = (8/7) x 19.87

Add both equations:

32y - 15y = 8x6.15 - 5*9.58

17y = 1.3

y = 91/17) x 1.3

7y = (7/17)x 1.3

8x + 7y = (8/7) x 19.87 + (7/17) x 1.3

8x + 7y = $23.244

4) 2l + 2w = 0

2 x 2l + 2 x 1/2w = 40 + 16

l+w = 20

4l+w = 56

I’ve got l = 12 and w = 8

5) answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° = \frac{ab}{bc}

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =   \frac{ab}{20}

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
