Answer: Choice C) {6, 9, 12}
=======================================================
Explanation:
Something like choice A can't form a triangle because the first two sides add to 6+9 = 15, which is <u>not</u> longer than the third side 15. We need to have x+y > z to be true. The same goes for choice B as well because 3+3 = 6 is too small compared to the third side 7. Choice D is similar to choice A.
In short, we can rule out choices A, B, and D.
The only thing left is choice C. Picking any two sides leads to having that sum be larger than the third side
- 6+9 = 15 which is larger than 12
- 9+15 = 24 which is larger than 6
- 6+15 = 21 which is larger than 9
So the conditions of the triangle inequality theorem work out here, and we have a triangle.
Answer:
idk how to do this
Step-by-step explanation:
3x -y ⩾ 6
3x - 6 ⩾ y
now, with inequalities, what we do is, we graph the line of 3x - 6 = y, and then we shade the "true region".
if we pick a point on say hmmm (4, 0), namely x = 4 and y = 0, we can plug that in the inequality and see what we get,
3(4) - 0 ⩾ 6
12 - 0 ⩾ 6
12 ⩾ 6
is 12 really greater or equals to 6? well yes, therefore, the point (4, 0) lies on the "true region", since it's true, 12 is indeed ⩾ 6, so, where that point is, we shade.
now, the ⩾ means equals to or greater, and therefore, since the values could also equal the boundary points, the line is a solid line, because it includes the line itself, as well as the shading.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Is it possible for Bruce and Felicia to have used the same number of tiles? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.
No
5x + 2 ≠ 5x + 5
because
2 ≠ 5
If they each used the same number of tiles, how many tiles were in each box?
6x + 2 = 5x + 17
6x - 5x + 2 - 2 = 5x - 5x + 17 - 2
x = 15 tiles
