Answer:

  72

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are said to be similar. (ΔNPQ ~ ΔRSQ) That means corresponding sides have the same ratio:

  NP/RS = NQ/RQ = PQ/SQ = 24/32 = 21/28 = 3/4

This ratio, or scale factor, also applies to the perimeters of the two triangles.

  perimeter NPQ / perimeter RSQ = 3/4

Using the given expressions for the perimeters, we have ...

  (7x +2)/(10x -4) = 3/4

We can solve this equation in the usual way to find the value of x. Then we can use that value to find the perimeter of ΔNPQ.

  4(7x +2) = 3(10x -4) . . . . . multiply both sides by 4(10x -4)

  28x +8 = 30x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  20 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-28x to both sides

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 10

The perimeter of ΔNPQ is ...

  7x +2 = 7(10) +2 = 72

The perimeter of triangle NPQ is 72 units.

Given the equation 4x + 7 = 3(2x − 5), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.
MariettaO [177]
Part 1: 4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5) 

4x+7=6x-15 

7=6x-15-4x

 

7=2x-15 

7+15=2x 

22=2x 

22=2x / 2 

x=11 

Part 2: Sam is not correct because <span>he messed up the second step. He added 2x on both sides to get 7x, instead he should have subtracted. </span>

If the length of a rectangle is x-2 and its area is 2x3 – 8x2 + 2x+12, it’s width would be what?
hram777 [196]
Width would have to be a quadratic
Use long division to find the other factor of the cubic polynomial P (x).
P (x) factors in case it is reducible over R[x]
if it weren't then P (x) mod R [x] would be a field
otherwise you could use the Eisenstein Criterion.
