If two sides of a triangle are of measures 15 and 28, what is the range of possible values for the third side x?

1 answer:

5 0

Let side a = 5. Let side b = 9. Then the triangle has sides a=5, b=9, and c=?. Any side of a triangle must be less than the other two sides added together, so a < b+c, b < a+c, and c < a+b Substituting: 5 < 9+c, 9 < 5+c, and c < 5+9 Solving all three for c: -4 < c, 4 < c, c < 14 The first one is of course true, so ignore it. Put the second and third together and get 4 < c < 14

Solve |5x+30|=10x ......

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve out ,

$\implies |5x + 30| = 10x$

We can write it as ,

$\implies 5x + 30 = \pm 10x$

On simplyfing further,

$\implies 5x + 30 = 10x \quad or \quad 5x +30=-10x$

On solving the above equation , we will get ,

$\implies \boxed{ x = 6,-2}$

Now we know that the value of modulus is never negative so when we will put x is equal to 2 on the RHS we will get -20 which is not possible . Therefore , the extraneous root is -2 .

Option A is correct .
