Answer:

9, 32 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides.  Since you know the perimeter and the expressions for each of the sides, you can set up an equation to solve for the variable and find the values of the other sides:

one side: '4 times the shortest side' = 4s

shortest side: 's'

third side: '23 more than the shortest side' = s + 23

perimeter  = 77

Equation:  4s + s + (s + 23) = 77

Combine like terms:  6s + 23 = 77

Subtract 23 from both sides:  6s + 23 - 23 = 77 - 23 or 6s = 54

Divide by 6:  6s/6 = 54/6 or s = 9

one side: 4s = 4(9) = 36

shortest side: s = 9

third side: s + 23 = 9 + 23 = 32

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

16 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract the cost of the rental from the amount of money:

$400-$150 = $250

Therefore Tia has $250 to spend for additional people. Then if each person is $15, divide the remaining amount of money by the amount of money per person:

$250/$15 = 16.67

Since you can't have 0.67 of a person she can have 16 people go with her.

This can also be modeled by this inequality:

150 + 15x \leqslant 400
