Answer:

y= 3x-17

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a parallel equation to y=mx+b, mx will always stay the same. So we have to find b.

In order to do this you plug the parallel lines passing point into the equation.

-5(y) goes into the y's spot. 4(x) goes into the x's spot.

-5 = 3 x 4 + b

-5 = 12 + b

-5 - 12 = 12 - 12 + b

-17 = b

y=3x-17

What is the area of a rectangle whose length is 3x and breadth is 2x

kherson [118]

Answer:

Your answer is 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

length(l) = 3x

breadth(b) = 2x

area of a rectangle(A) = ?

Now,

A = l*b

A = 3x*2x

A = 6x ans.

Answer:

$x = 3 + 4\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

OPQ is a right angle triangle.

Using Pythagoras

$x^{2} + (x+5)^{2} = (x+8)^{2}\\x^{2} + x^{2} + 10x +25 = x^{2} + 16x + 64\\x^{2} + x^{2} - x^{2} + 10x - 16x + 25 - 64 = 0\\x^{2} - 6x -39 = 0$

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\x = \frac{-(-6) \± \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(1)(-39)}}{2(1)}\\x = \frac{6}{2} \± \frac{\sqrt{192}}{2}\\x = 3 \± \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}\\x = 3 \± 4\sqrt{3}$

$x = 3 + 4\sqrt{3} = 9.928(4s.f.)$

$x = 3 - 4\sqrt{3} = -3.928(4s.f.)$ (Length can't be negative)

∴ $x = 3 + 4\sqrt{3}$

lesantik [10]

Answer: 77.05

Step-by-step explanation: 1) Draw a right triangle with these measures:

angle with the horizontal: 6 degress

horizontal segment: 5

height: x

2) Definition of tangent : tan(6°) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = x / 5 =>

3) Solve for

x = 5tan(6°) = 77.05
