Answer: the length if the three sides are 31 feet, 23 feet and 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle.

Let y represent the length of the second side of the triangle.

Let z represent the length of the third side of the triangle.

The second side of a triangular deck is 5 feet longer than the shortest​ side. This means that

y = x + 5

The third side is 5 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. This means that

z = 2x - 5

If the perimeter of the deck is 72 ​feet, it means that

x + x + 5 + 2x - 5 = 72

4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

z = 2x - 5 = 2 × 18 - 5

z = 36 - 5

z = 31

y = x + 5 = 18 + 5

y = 23

Solve the equation. Check your solutions when necessary.<br><br><br>2x² − 7x = 4
prisoha [69]

Answer:

x= -1/2 = -0.500

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-7x-4=0

2x^2-8x+1x-4=0

2x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(2x+1)(x-4)=0

2x+1=0...2x= -1.. x= -1/2         x-4=0 .. x=4

checking the solution

2(-1/2)^2-7(-1/2)=4.....  4=4

2(4)^2-7(4)=4....... 4=4

Which is the graph of f(x) = -3√x?<br>pls answer quickly​
k0ka [10]

Answer: the graph farthest to the right is almost correct. If you substitute values for x in the function f(x)= -3√x , the output does not match the curve on the graphs shown.

If you have a choice that includes only a curve to the right of the y- axis, that would be better.

Step-by-step explanation: Square roots of Negative x-values will result in imaginary numbers. Otherwise the graph with the curve passing through coordinates (1,-3) (4,-6) and (9,-9) is a good choice.

(And ask your teacher about the square root of negative numbers on this graph.)

The model represents an equation.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the original equation for x

-4× + 3 = 1x +(-6)

-1x

-5x + 3 = -6

-3

-5x = -9

/-5

x = 9/5

CHECK

-4(9/5) + 3 = 1(9/5) +(-6)

-21/5 = -21/5
