Let the third side = x.
The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side
14 + 9 > x
23 > x
14 + x > 9
x > -5
9 + x > 14
x > 5
So 5 < x < 23
Divide 7 into 5 to find each penny value.
7/5 = 1.4
Thus, 1 penny is equal to 1.4 mm
100/1.4 = 71.43
Therefore 71.43 pennies is equal to 100mm.
First you would put both numbers into improper fractions.
3 1/3 = 10/3 and 2 1/4 = 9/4
Multiply 10/3 * 9/4
10*9 = 90 and 3 * 4 =12
So 90/12 is your fraction. Reduce it, 7 6/12
7 6/12 = 7 1/2
So your answer is 7 1/2

Some number y has 7 subtracted off to get 15. We have y-7 = 15. To isolate y, we have to undo the "subtract 7" operation that happens to y. We have to add 7 to both sides.
y-7 = 15
y-7+7 = 15+7
y = 22 is the answer
