Answer:
6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of "another side." Then "one side" is ...
2x -10 . . . . . . 10 feet shorter than twice another side
The sum of these two side lengths is half the perimeter, so is ...
x + (2x -10) = 14 . . . . . two sides are half the perimeter
3x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10, collect terms
x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
(2x -10) = 2·8 -10 = 6 . . . . find "one side"
We have found "one side" to be 6 feet long, and "another side" to be 8 feet long. The shorter side is 6 feet.
The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:
- Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
- Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.
Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Answer: 
Answer:
36/7
Step-by-step explanation:
{(6+3)/(-5-2)}(-4)
36/7
Use a variable, x, to stand in for the number.
5+x is less than 17.
x is less than 12
