Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b)² = 9
(b + c)² = 25
(a + c)² = 81
Taking the square root:
a + b = ±3
b + c = ±5
a + c = ±9
By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.
Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:
a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2
a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2
a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2
Answer:1 3/4 < 1 7/8
Showing the workThe least common denominator is 8Comparing 14/8 and 15/8:
14/8 < 15/8 ... ..... ... ....therefore1 3/4 < 1 7/8
Answer:
(8x-7)(8x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a difference of squares polynomial of the form 
. Since 64 and 9 are both perfect squares then take the square root of each so a=8 and b=7.
Factors:(8x-7)(8x+7)
The answer in order is b a c
