Answer:

y = 1/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a parallel equation needs to have the same slope as the given equation (1/2)

what we have so far is

y = 1/2x + b

since we know this has to pass through (-6, 5)

we’ll plug in -6 for x and 5 for y to find b

5 = 1/2(-6) + b

5 = -6/2 + b

5 = -3 + b

8 = b

so web. we plug b back into the equation

the final solution is

y = 1/2x + 8

One side of a triangle is 2 times the second side. The third side is 5 ft longer than the second side. The perimeter of a triang

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The length of each side of triangle are 19 ft, 24 ft and 38 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of second side be x.

Now given:

Length of first side is 2 times length of second side.

Length of first side = 2x

Also, Length of third side is 5 ft longer than the second side.

Length of third side = 5+x

Perimeter of triangle = 81 ft.

We need to find the length of each side.

Now perimeter of triangle is sum of all three sides of triangle.

Therefore;

Perimeter of triangle = Length of first side + length of second side + Length of third side.

$2x+x+5+x=81 ft\\4x+5=81ft\\4x= 81 -5 ft\\4x = 76ft\\x= \frac{76}{4} = 19 ft$

Length of Second Side = 19 ft.

Length of First side = $2x= 2\times19 = 38 ft$

Length of Third side = $5+x= 5+19=24ft$

Hence the Length of triangles are 19 ft,38 ft,24 ft.

Julie says I added three odd numbers and my answer was 50 explain why Julie cannot be correct

ANTONII [103]

Julie cannot be right. That's because if you add three odd numbers together, <em>you always get an odd number. </em>The number 50 is an Even number.

Let's try adding 3 odd numbers together a couple of times...
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
5 + 1 + 5 = 11
7 + 3 + 5 = 15
We tried 3 examples, we could not get any even number. So, Julie's claim is wrong.
