$a-length\ one\ of\ the\ same\ sides\\\\a-9-length\ of\ third\ side\\\\a+a+a-9=63\ \ \ \ \ \ |add\ 9\\a+a+a=63+9\\3a=72\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ by\ 3\\a=24\\\\a-9=24-9=15\\\\The\ shortest\ side\ is\ 15.$

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size

Alecsey [184]

In this question ,it is given that

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size

d is given by the literal equation

$d=4n-2$

where n is the length (in inches) of the nail.

In the first part we have to solve for n .

And for that firt we add 2 to both sides

$d+2 =4n$

Now we divide both sides by 4, that is

$n = \frac{d+2}{4}$

Part b.

When d=3

$n= \frac{3+2}{4} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25$

When d =6, we will get

$n=\frac{6+2}{4}=2$

When d =10, we will get

$n = \frac{10+2}{4}= 3$
