If the perimeter of a triangle is 19 cm. The lengths of 3 sides is: a = 8, b = 7, c = 4.

<h3>Parimeter</h3>

Let a = longest

Let b= shortest

Let c= third side

a = 2c

a = (b+ c) - 3

a + 3 = b + c

Using three variables to solve the expression for perimeter

Perimeter= 19 cm

a+ b + c = 19

a + (a + 3) = 19

2a + 3 = 19

2a= 16

Divide both side by 2a

a=16/2

a = 8

a = 2c

8 = 2c

c=8/2

c = 4

a + b + c= 19

8 + b + 4 = 19

12 + b = 19

b=19-12

b = 7

Hence,

a = 8, b = 7, c = 4

Therefore If the perimeter of a triangle is 19 cm. The lengths of 3 sides is: a = 8, b = 7, c = 4.

The complete question is:

Perimeter of triangle is 19cm. If the length of the longest side is twice that of the shortest side and 3 less than the sum of the lengths of the 2 sides find lengths of 3 sides.

X^2-12x+12=0 completing the square

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x1 = 6 + 2√6 or x2 = 6 - 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 12 = 0

We need to use formula:

a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)².

x² - 12x = - 12

x² - 2*6x + 6²- 6² = - 12

(x - 6)² - 36 = -12

(x - 6)² = - 12 + 36

(x -6)² = 24

(x - 6) = √24 or (x-6) = -√24

(x - 6) = 2√6 or (x-6) = - 2√6

x = 6 + 2√6 or x = 6 - 2√6

The alphabet game costs $.25 to play. Before the game, 26 slips of paper with a different letter of the alphabet on it are put i

iragen [17]

Answer: 25/676

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible outcomes = 26

In other to win, one must draw must be either (A, E, I, O or U)

Therefore required drws to win = 5

First draw:

P(win) = Total required outcome / Total possible outcome

P(win) = 5/26

Second draw:

P(win) = Total required outcome / Total possible outcome

P(win) = 5/26

Therefore,

P(winning twice) = (5/26) × (5/26) = 25/676

Solve<br> 5(2x-y) = 7x + 1 <br> 3(3x+y) = 5(x-y+12)<br> using the elimination method<br> thanks!

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

{x = 7 , y = 4

Step-by-step explanation using elimination:

Solve the following system:

{5 (2 x - y) = 7 x + 1 | (equation 1)

{3 (3 x + y) = 5 (12 + x - y) | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{3 x - 5 y = 1 | (equation 1)

{4 x + 8 y = 60 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{4 x + 8 y = 60 | (equation 1)

{3 x - 5 y = 1 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3/4 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{4 x + 8 y = 60 | (equation 1)

{0 x - 11 y = -44 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 4:

{x + 2 y = 15 | (equation 1)

{0 x - 11 y = -44 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by -11:

{x + 2 y = 15 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{x+0 y = 7 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 7 , y = 4
