let the short side = x

Long side = 3x

Middle side = 3x -3


x + 3x + 3x -3 = 32

Simplify:

7x -3 = 32

Add 3 to both sides:

7x = 25

Divide both sides by 7:

X = 5


answer: shortest side = 5cm

What is the solution of the system? Use either the substitution method or the elimination method. 4x + 2y = 104x + 2y = 10 x − y
bixtya [17]
4x+2y=10 Equation 1
x-y=13 Equation 2
Solving by substitution method.
Isolate x from equation 2.
x=y+13
Substitute value of x in equation 1
4(y+13)+2y=10
4y+52+2y=10
6y+52=10
6y=-42
y=-7
Now substitute value of y in x=y+13
x=-7+13
x=6

Answer: (6,-7)

If 5(3x-7)=20, then what is 6x-8 ?
Colt1911 [192]
First solve for x in the first equation. So you'll have to substitute,
5(3x-7)=20
15x-35=20
Then add 35 to both sides.
15x=55
Divide 55 by 15.
So x = 3.66...
Then plug in 3.7 for x in 6x-8
6(3.7)-8
Its approximately 14.2
