The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x - 6. The perimeter of the triangle is 58. Find x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sided of the triangle.

In an isosceles triangle, there are two equal sides and  a base.

Perimeter = ( 3x - 6) + (3x - 6) + x

            58 = 7x - 12

            58 + 12 = 7x

                   70  = 7x

                    [tex]\frac{70}{7} = \frac{7x}{7}[/tex]

                    10 = x

P = 2x + y where P = number of points
x = number of wins
y = number of ties
How many points would a team earn if they played 52 games, won 24 and lost 19?

Answers

Answer: 57

Step-by-step explanation: First add the won and lost games then subtract the sum from the total games played to determine how many games were tied. Then take the won games and multiply them by 2, take the tied games, and add them together to get your answer: 57.

The prices of items in a shop were reduced by 10% during reduction sales. if a costumer buys an electric fan at $810.00. What was the original price?​

Answers

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve the problem in 2 steps, one being Solving, and the second being Comprehending. I'll start with comprehending.

Comprehending

We can start by analyzing the problem and creating an equation to then begin solving.

So, we know that a number, which we will call [tex]x[/tex] has a discount of 10% to get the current price of $810. We know that when there is a discount, we need to find what the 10 percent is then add it to the current price;$810.

We can create a formula and steps by doing the following:

[tex]x*0.9=810[/tex]

We have 0.9 as there is a 10% discount (0.1) and we subtract 1.00 by 0.1 to get 0.9. (Which is 90%).

This states that 90% of a number is equal to 810.

Now that we have an equation, we can begin solving.

Solving

We can solve the problem by using basic algebra.

[tex]x*0.9=810\\x*\frac{9}{10}=810\\x=(810*10)\div 9\\x=8100 \div 9\\x=900[/tex]

On step 1, we convert the decimal to a fraction for easy simplification/solving.

On step 2, we split the fraction into two and since we're dividing, we can flip the fraction and multiply by 10 and divide by 9.

On step 3, we use basic algebra and after step 4 we get our answer.

We can double check out answer by doing the following:

[tex]900-(900*0.10)=810?\\900-90=810?\\810=810[/tex]

We have checked our answer and gotten our answer of $900.

Cheers!

Dakota earned $12.50 in interest in Account A and $11.25 in interest in Account B after 15 months.
If the simple interest rate is 4% for Account A and 3% for Account B, which account has the greater
principal? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

You haven't explained the  time for account A - we will assume 12 months or the answer is obvious:

for Acct(A) :   I = 12.5 = A1  * .04           A1 =  $312.50

for Acct(B)     I = 11.25 = A2 * .03 * 5/4 = 300

Note that annual interest in B is .03 or I = .03 + .03 * 1/4 = .0375 for 15 mos.

11.25 = .0375 * A2     A2 = 300

Account A will have the greater principal

Write the equation of the line from the graph.​

Answers

Answer: y = 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is usually in y= mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In order to calculate the slope, we choose two-point from the graph. (-1 ,-2) and (0, 2).

slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

        = (2 - (-2)) / (0 - (-1))

        = (2 + 2) / (0 + 1)

        = 4 / 1

        = 4

y-intercept means the y value when x is 0, according to the graph, the y value when x at 0 was 2. So the y-intercept is 2.

Plug both slope and y-intercept in, we get the equation:

            y = 4x + 2

Answer:

Option B: (x= -8, y=10, z=-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y + 3z = 6 ... eq.(1)

5x + 8y + 6z = 4 ... eq.(2)

4x + 5y + 2z = 6 ... eq.(3)

From eq.(1),

2x= 6 - 4y - 3z

x= (6-4y-3z)/2 ... eq.(4)

Putting x as (6-4y-3z)/2 in both eq.(2) and eq.(3)

In eq.(2),

5[(6-4y-3z)/2] +8y +6z =4

Multiplying through by 2

5(6-4y-3z) + 16y + 12z = 8

30-20y-15z+16y+12z = 8

22= 4y + 3z ... eq(5)

In eq.(3),

4[(6-4y-3z)/2] +5y +2z = 6

2(6-4y-3z) +5y + 2z =6

12-8y-6z + 5y +2z = 6

6= 3y + 4z ... eq.(6)

Multiplying eq.(5) and eq.(6) by 3 & 4 respectively

66=12y + 9z ... eq(8)

24=12y + 16z ... eq(9)

Subtracting eq(8) from eq(9)

42= -7z

z= -42/7

z = -6

Putting z as -6 in eq.(5)

22= 4y + 3(-6)

22= 4y -18

4y = 40

y = 40/4

y = 10

Putting y as 10 and z as -6 in eq(4)

x = [6 - 4(10) - 3(-6)]/2

x = (6 - 40 - 18)/2

x = -16/2

x = -8

x= -8, y= 10 , z= -6

3rd hr = 58km 56m = 58056m

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a ratio of b/2 that is equal to the ratio of 1/4 to 1 1/4 (or 5/4).

Ratio of (1/4)/(5/4):

(1/4)/(5/4) = (1/4)*(4/5) = 4/20 = 1/5 or 0.2

We want 2/b = 1/5 or 0.20

2/b = 0.20

b = 2/0.20

b = 10

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are supplementary

therefor

(3x + 2) + (5x + 10) = 180

Combine like terms

8x + 12 = 180

subtract 12 from both sides

8x = 168

Divide both sides by 8

x = 21

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to 3x + 2 corresponds to 5x + 10 and are congruent.

The 2 adjacent angles then lie on a straight line and sum to 180° , then

5x + 10 + 3x + 2 = 180

8x + 12 = 180 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

8x = 168 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 21

if motorist drove a distance of 90km at constant speed for the first 40km and then drove 30 km/hr faster for the rest of the journey if the journey took him one hour, his average speed for the first 40 km is​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The motorist drove at a distance of 90km at a constant speed for the first 40km, and then 20 km/hr faster for the rest of the journey.

The whole journey took him 1hr.

Let S denotes the average speed (in km/hr) for the first 40 km.

Hence we get the following relation,

40/S + (90 - 40)/(S + 20) = 1

or 50/(S + 20) = 1 - 40/S = (S - 40)/S

or (S + 20)(S - 40) = 50S or S^2 - 70S - 800 = 0 or (S - 80)(S + 10) = 0

or S = 80 (km/hr) [Ans]

[S cannot be negative value]
