Answer:

11 cm, 19 cm, 27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have 3 sides and perimeter is the sum of all side lengths. So the equation is x + (2x-3) + (2x+5) = 57.

x + (2x-3) + (2x+5) = 57

x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57

x + 2x + 2x - 3 + 5 = 57

5x + 2 = 57

5x = 57 -2

5x = 55

x = 11

Now that we know the value of x, we can figure out the side lengths. The first side (x) is 11 cm long, the second side (2x - 3) is 19 cm, and the third side (2x + 5) is 27 cm long.

<u>Answer with step by step explanation</u>

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the sides.

There fore,

<h3>a) x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57</h3>

Now, let us solve the above equation and find the value of x.

Let us solve.

x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57

Combine like terms.

5x -3 + 5 = 57

5x + 2 = 57

5x = 57 - 2

5x = 55

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 11

And now they've asked us to write the lengths of three sides.

Let us write now.

<h3>b) x = <u>11 cm</u></h3><h3> ( 2x - 3 ) ⇒ ( 2 × 11 - 3 ) ⇒ ( 22 - 3 ) ⇒ <u>19 cm</u></h3><h3>( 2x + 5 ) ⇒ ( 2 × 11 + 5 ) ⇒ ( 22 + 5 ) ⇒ <u>27 cm</u></h3>

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

How do you write an equation of a line that is parallel line to y=8x-8 through the point (5,2)
Andreyy89
Parallel means that the two equations have the same slope,

so we have y = 8x + b so far.

Then we can just apply the slope to the given point by taking the y value and decreasing it by 40, due to the x value being 5

So in short, the equation that runs parallel to y = 8x-8 and intersect the point (5,2) is y = 8x -38

Sammy starts with $50 in her saving account and adds $50 each week. Write an equation that Sammy can use to show how much money
victus00 [196]

Known facts:

  • 50 dollars is the initial amount in the saving account
  • 50 dollars is added every week into the savings account.

Variables:

  • x: # of weeks
  • y: total amount of money in savings

Set equation based on known facts and variables:

  y = 50x + 50, 50x is the rate at which it grows depending on

   the week and 50 is the initial amount there

Hope that helps!
