I always found it easiest to draw out the picture
Triangle ABD and ADC are righttriangles so u can use the Pythagorean theorem/triples. the triples are 3/4/5 and 5/12/13. 12 is 4x3, and 15 is 5x3, so BD is 3x3, which is 9. AC is 13, as it is part of the Pythagorean’s triples
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
THis is a single equation with a single variable [y].
We can separate the variable in one side and the numbers to another and solve for y. Shown below:
3y + 4 = -2
3y = -2 - 4
3y = -6
y = -6/3
y = -2
THus, this equation has only 1 solution. B is correct
The simplified expression would be 3s + 15.
In order to find this we need to write an equation for the longest side. Since it's 3 more than twice as much as the smallest side (s), we can express it as 2s + 3. Now we simply add all 3 together and simplify.
2s + 3 + 12 + s -----> simplify
3s + 15
