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

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Option A is the correct option.

Solution,

$4 - 2(b - 6) = 12 \\ or \: 4 - 2b + 12 = 12 \\ or \: 4 + 12 - 2b = 12 \\ or \: 16 - 2b = 12 \\ or \: - 2b = 12 - 16 \\ or \: - 2b = - 4 \\ or \: b = \frac{ - 4}{ - 2} \\ b = 2$

Hope this helps...

What is the solution to the rational equation x over x squared minus 9 plus 1 over x minus 3 equals 1 over 4x minus 12? (1 point

pochemuha

Step-by-step explanation:

x²/(x²-9) + 1/(x-3) = 1/(4x-12)

4x² + 4(x+3) = 1

4x² + 4x + 11 = 0

Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions.
