Mike is 29.

5+2x+x=41
5+3x=41
3x=36
x=12

5+2x=Mike’s Age
5+2(12)= Mike’s Age
29= Mike’s Age

Solve each equation.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

13x+9=30

13x=30+9

13x=39

divide both sides by 13

x=3

12x+1=-13

12x=-13-1

12x=-14

divide both sides by 12

x=7/6

x+2+4=11

x+6=11

x=11_6

x=5

Given that S is the centroid of triangle MNO, find SQ.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

|SQ|=5

Step-by-step explanation:

If S is the median, then OP is a median of triangle OMN.

This implies that:

|MP|=|NP|

$3x-4=x+4$

We group like terms and solve for x.

$3x-x=4+4$

$\implies 2x=8$

$\implies x=4$

Now we know that: MN:SQ=2:1

But MN=2x+2

This implies that:

2x+2:SQ=2:1

Put x=4

2(4)+2:SQ=2:1

10:SQ=2:1

Therefore |SQ|=5

The length of a rectangle is 4x + 5 and the width is 8x - 4. what is the perimtleter?

Luda [366]

Hi there!

Since the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is length×2 + width × 2, we can follow this rule.

2 (4x + 5) + 2 (8x - 4)
= 8x + 10 + 16x - 8
= 24x + 2

So, the perimeter is 24x + 2.

Hope this helps!

At Southside Middle School, 30% of the students play an instrument. There are 310 students. How many students play an instrument

rodikova [14]

93 students play an instrument because you would take 310 (the total amount of students) and multiply it by 0.3 (the thirty percent) and get 93
