Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are rational, a - b has to be rational because we are not dividing them. 2 rational numbers subtracted from each other is always a rational number.

Example: 34 (rational) 23 (rational)

34 - 23 = 11 (rational)

Nady [450]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

There are 3 sides. All are equal to (4x - 3)

Their sum = 63

Formula

3(4x - 3) = 63

Solution

  • 3(4x - 3) = 63            Divide by 3
  • 12x - 9 = 63               Add 9 to both sides
  • 12x = 63 + 9    
  • 12x = 72                    Divide by 12
  • x = 72/12

x = 6                          Answer
