The cost of old computer is $ 357

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the cost of old computer

From given,

Cost of new computer = $ 709

Blairs new computer cost 5$ less than twice the cost of her old computer

Therefore,

Cost of new computer = twice the cost of old computer - 5

Cost of new computer = 2x - 5

709 = 2x - 5

2x = 709 + 5

2x = 714

Divide both sides by 2

x = 357

Thus the cost of old computer is $ 357

The middle side of a triangle is half of 3 times the length of the shortest side. The longest side is 2 centimeters longer than
USPshnik [31]

<u>Answer:</u>  

The difference between the longest and shortest sides of the triangle is 4 cm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Step Number One:</em>

Let the shortest side of the triangle have a length of x.

The middle side of the triangle has a length that is half of 3 times the length of the shortest side. This can be written as 1/2*3x, which equals 3/2x.

The longest side of the triangle has a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the length of the middle side. This can be written as 3/2x + 2.

<em>Step Number Two: </em>

The perimeter of the triangle, which can be found by adding the lengths of all of the sides of the triangle, is 18 centimeters. This can be shown by the following equations:

Shortest Side + Middle Side + Longest Side = Perimeter

x + 3/2x + 3/2x + 2 = 18

4x + 2 = 18

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

<em>Step Number Three: </em>

This means that the shortest side of the triangle has a length of 4 centimeters and the longest side of the triangle has a length of 8 centimeters.

8 cm - 4 cm = 4 cm
