Solve the perimeter formula for an isosceles triangle, P = 2a + b for a.


a = P + 2b



a = P – 2b

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution for a is a =  [tex]\frac{P-b}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an equation for one of its variables, do that

Separate the term of this variable on one side and the other terms on the other sidesMake the coefficient of the variable equals1 (if it is not 1)

Let us solve the question

∵ The perimeter formula for an isosceles triangle is P = 2a + b

∵ We need to solve it for a

→ By using the first step above, subtract the two sides by b to move it

    from the right side to the left side

∵ P - b = 2a + b - b

P - b = 2a

→ By using the second step above, divide both sides by 2

∵ [tex]\frac{P-b}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2a}{2}[/tex]

∴  [tex]\frac{P-b}{2}[/tex] = a

→ Switch the two sides

∴ a =  [tex]\frac{P-b}{2}[/tex]

The solution for a is a =  [tex]\frac{P-b}{2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer: 7 errands

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah wants to have at least $30. He however already has $10.50.

The amount that he needs is:

= 30 - 10.50

= $19.30

For every errand he runs, he makes $3. The number of errands needed to get to $30 is:

= 19.50/3

= 6.5

Let the x be the be score for 100% marks.
68% of x = 17
x = 17 / 68%
x = 25

Sewing patterns recommended buying extra fabric in case of mistakes. Darlene bought 7 yards of fabric, plus 20% extra fabric. Chris bought 4 yards of fabric plus 25% extra. Who bought more fabric. How much more?

Answers

Answer:

Darlene bought more fabric

Darlene bought 3.4 yards more

Step-by-step explanation:

Darlene = 7 yards + 20% extra

= 7 yards + (20% of 7 yards)

= 7 + (20% × 7)

= 7 + (0.2 × 7)

= 7 + 1.4

= 8.4 yards

Chris = 4 yards + 25% of 4 yards

= 4 yards + (25% of 4 yards)

= 4 + (25% × 4)

= 4 + (0.25 × 4)

= 4 + 1

= 5 yards

Darlene bought more fabric

How much more?

Darlene - Chris

= 8.4 yards - 5 yards

= 3.4 yards

Darlene bought 3.4 yards more

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm greater than its
width. Its area is 108 cm. Find the dimensions
of the rectangle.

Answers

So the Area = length • width
so first say the width is x so the length is +3 then the width so the length is (x+3)

the formula would be; x•(x+3) = 108
x=9

so the width is; 9 cm
and the length is; 9+3= 12cm

The length is 12 cm and width is 9 cm.

what is Algebra?

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

Area = 108 cm²

and, The length of a rectangle is 3 cm greater than its width.

let the width of rectangle be x.

so, length = x+ 3

So, Area of Rectangle = l x w

108 = x(x+ 3)

x² + 3x -108 = 0

x² + 12x - 9x  -108 = 0

x( x+ 12) -9 ( x+ 12)= 0

(x + 12)(x- 9)=0

x= -12, +9

So, length is 12 cm and width is 9 cm.

Maria is bringing her sick dog, Pedro in for a series of appointments at the veterinary clinic. Her total cost over the course of treatment will be $150 for tests and medicine plus $30 per appointment "a". A) Write an equation to show the total cost, "t" she will owe. *

Answers

Answer:

t = 150 + 30a

Step-by-step explanation:

Treatment of Pedro costs = Expenditure for tests and medicines + fees given for appointments.

If number of appointments = a

Cost per appointment = $30

Cost of 'a' appointments = $30a

Therefore, equation representing the total cost 't' of the treatment will be,

t = 150 + 30a

Answers

Answer:

you - 4 rocks and 16 fossilsfriend - 12 rocks and 8 fossils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rock be r and the fossil be f

Equations

You: r + f = 20Friend: 3r + 1/2f = 20

Double the second equation and subtract the first one:

2(3r + 1/2f) - (r - f) = 2*20 - 206r - r = 205r = 20r = 4

Then find f:

f = 20 - 4 = 16

The area of a rectangular pool table is: x2 + 14x +40. What are the dimensions of the table?

Formula: Area = (L) (W)

C(x + 4)(x + 10)
D(x +14)(x + 40)​

Answers

Answer:

the width is (x + 4) and the length is (x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by A = L * W, where L is the length and W the width.  

If we factor the given x^2 + 14x + 40, we get (x + 10)(x + 4).  Thus, the width is (x + 4) and the length is (x + 10).

when an equation is in standard form you can easily find the x-intercept and y-intercept simply by substituting in ____ for each variable

Answers

Answer:

by substituting 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Similarly, any y-intercept will have an x coordinate of 0. Using the standard form of an equation we can easily find the intercepts. To find the x-intercept, we set y=0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, we set x=0 and solve for y.

We can complete the given statement as:

When an equation is in the standard form you can easily find the x-intercept and y-intercept simply by substituting 0 for each variable.

What are intercepts?

Intercepts are the point of intersection, between the graph of an equation and an axis of the coordinate plane.

We have two intercepts:

x-intercept: The point at which the equation intersects the x-axis. This point is taken as (a,0), as any point on the x-axis has a y-coordinate = 0.y-intercept: The point at which the equation intersects the y-axis. This point is taken as (0, b), as any point on the y-axis has an x-coordinate = 0.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are asked: when an equation is in the standard form you can easily find the x-intercept and y-intercept simply by substituting in ____ for each variable.

We know that the x-intercept has a y-coordinate = 0. Thus, when we substitute the value of y = 0, in the equation, we get the x-intercept 'a', as the point (a, 0) satisfies the equation.

We know that the y-intercept has an x-coordinate = 0. Thus, when we substitute the value of x = 0, in the equation, we get the y-intercept 'b', as the point (0, b) satisfies the equation.

Thus, we can complete the given statement as:

When an equation is in the standard form you can easily find the x-intercept and y-intercept simply by substituting 0 for each variable.
