Answer:

  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the length of the third side. The first side is 7 ft more, so is (t +7). The second side is 1 ft shorter than 3 times the third side, so is (3t -1). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  21 = (t +7) +(3t -1) +t

  21 = 5t +6

  15 = 5t . . . . . . . subtract 6

  3 = t . . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the length of the second side is ...

  3t -1 = 3·3 -1 = 8 . . . . feet

The length of the second side is 8 feet.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The first side is 3+7 = 10 ft. So the three side lengths are 10 ft, 8 ft, 3 ft.

12. Determine the slope of the line having the equation 2x + y = 12
Virty [35]

Answer:

b. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Note that:

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

First, isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

2x (-2x) + y = (-2x) + 12

y = -2x + 12

Remember, m is the variable for the term that stands for the slope (directly next to the x variable). In this case, your answer will be -2

b. -2 is your answer.
