We are given the ratio
Long : short = 4:1
and the sum
Long+short=25
=>
long = 25*(long/(long+short)=25*(4/(4+1))=20
Short =25*(short/(long+short)=25*(1/4+1)=5

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangle means that all sides are equal

Soo

3x + 1 must be equal to 5x - 9

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

-2x = -10

x = 5

Substitute x as 5 into either side value

3(5) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

So, all sides equal 16

Which means that y + 3 also equals 16

y + 3 = 16

y = 13

Solve for the variable "i"

mote1985 [20]

9x- 7i > 3 (3x-7u)
9x- 7i > 9x-21u
9x-9x-7i > 21u
-7i > 21u
-i > 21u/3
-i > 3u
i < -3u
