Find x, GH, and HI .

Mathematics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]2 years ago

Given that GI = 53, and
• GH = 3x - 11
• HI = 2x + 4

We can establish the following equality statement to solve for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

Combine like terms:
5x - 7 = 53

Add 7 to both sides:
5x - 7 + 7 = 53 + 7
5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 60/5

x = 12

Substitute the value of x into the equality statement to verify if it is the correct value for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

3(12) - 11 + 2(12) + 4 = 53
36 - 11 + 24 + 4 = 53
53 = 53 (True statement. Thus, x = 12 is the correct value).

Therefore:
GH = 3x - 11
GH = 3(12) - 11
GH = 25

HI = 2x + 4
HI = 2(12) + 4
HI = 28

Estimate the perimeter and area of the figure to the nearest whole number. Please help!!
solniwko [45]

Answer:

29 ; 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed by a square, a rectangle, and a right triangle

The perimeter of the square is 6 units

The perimeter of the rectangle is 10 units

The triangle is composed by a side of 6 units and a side of 5 units

The third side can be find with the Pythagorean theorem

\sqrt{6^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{36 + 25} = \sqrt{61} = 7,81025

The total perimeter is

6 + 10 + 5 + 7,81025 = 28,81025 = 29

Area of the square = 2^2 = 4 square units

Area of the rectangle = 6 x 3 = 18 square units

Area of the triangle =  (5 x 6)/2 = 15 square units

Total area = 4 + 18 + 15 = 37 square units

A company makes 140 bags. 39 of the bags have buttons but no zips. 21 of the bags have zips but no buttons. 23 of the bags have
sleet_krkn [62]

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that reflects the removal of things from a collection. The number of bags that zips on them is 78.

<h3>What is subtraction?</h3>

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that reflects the removal of things from a collection. The negative symbol represents subtraction.

Given the number of bags that the company makes is 140. 39 of the bags have buttons but no zips. 21 of the bags have zips but no buttons. 23 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons.

Bags that have both zip and button

= Total number of bags - Number of bags with zips but no buttons - Number of bags with buttons but no zips - Number of bags with nor zips nor the buttons

= 140 - 21 - 39 - 23

= 57

Now, the number of bags that has zips will be the bags that only have zips and the number of bags that has zips and buttons. Therefore, the number of bags with zips is,

n = Bags that have both zip and button + Number of bags with zips but no buttons

   = 37 + 21

   = 78

Hence, the number of bags that zips on them is 78.

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and increases into quadrant 1. It crosses the y-ax
KIM [24]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=a*b^x - is a formula of exponential function

As we know the point (x=0; y=3) lies at the function's  graph.

So we have to put in formula f(x)=a*b^x   x=0  f(x)=y=3

3=a*b^0   (b^0=1) => 3=a*1 => 3=a
