Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, both legs are always congruent. The length of one leg is given, and the other leg has to be the same. The perimeter of this triangle can be written as:

x+(3x-5)+(3x-5)=39

With this equation, all you need to do is solve for x.

3+3x-5+3x-5=39\\(-5-5)+(x+3x+3x)=39\\-10+7x=39\\7x=49\\x=7

1. Andre earns $4000 a month at his new job. In order to track his spending and saving, he created a monthly
QveST [7]

Answer:

If Andre plans on staying within his budget, he should choose Apartment 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apartment 1: $1100 rent + $250 utilities = $1350 Total Monthly

Apartment 2: $1350 rent + $100 utilities = $1450 Total Monthly

Andre can spend up to $1320 on rent & $320 on utilities, totaling at $1640. In this situation, Andre needs to save as much money as possible. Either on one of these apartments stay below the budget for monthly cost, but Apartment 2's rent goes $30 higher than his budget allows. In the end, this makes apartment 1 the best option for rent, utilities, and ultimate cost.

If Andre plans on staying within his budget, he should choose Apartment 1.

Let f(x) = - 10x + 9 and g(x) = x2 + 12 <br>Find f( - 4)/g( - 4)​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

\frac{49}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate g(- 4) and f(- 4) by substituting x = - 4 into g(x) and f(x), that is

f(- 4) = - 10(- 4) + 9 = 40 + 9 = 49

g(- 4) = (- 4)² + 12 = 16 + 12 = 28

Then

\frac{f(-4)}{g(-4)} = \frac{49}{28} = \frac{7}{4}
