Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle.
let the other 2 sides be x and x - 3 , then
12 + x + x - 3 = 31
2x + 9 = 31 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11 and x - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8
The 3 sides are 12, 11, 8
with shortest side 8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of the polynomial are all the values of x for which the function 
In this case we know that the zeros are:


, 
Now we can write the polynomial as a product of its factors

Note that the polynomial is of degree 3 because the greatest exponent of the variable x that results from multiplying the factors of f (x) is 3
The length of the race is 5 kilometers.
5 kilometers equals 5000 meters.
Since Lana's avarege step length is about 0.5 meters, we need to divide 5000 by 0.5

Hence, Lana needs to take about
10000 steps.
Answer:
x =7 or x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x – 3| = 11
There are two solutions to an absolute value equation, one positive and one negative
2x-3 =11 or 2x-3 = -11
Add 3 to each side
2x-3+3 = 11 +3 2x-3+3 = -11+3
2x = 14 2x = -8
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 =14/2 2x/2 = -8/2
x =7 x = -4
Answer:
Assuming the question is how much interest you will pay in the given time frame with the given terms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Borrowed $300
18% per yr = 18/12 = 1.5% per month
You borrowed for 6 months so you will end up paying 1.5%*6 =9% in interest
$300*(9% or 0.09) = $27 in interest paid + $300 in principal paid if paid off in 6 months.
<u>Total $327.</u>
<u />
<em>If this was an economics class you would also have to factor in the depreciation of the principal amount month to month with minimum payments but I am guessing this is just a basic question so the above answer is correct enough.</em>
