$3.25 is the other 1/4. So $3.25 x 4 is $13 (their total). They spent $9.75
Given at you have an equilateral triangle, all sides have the same length.
Therefore,
First side 2x-7 = Second side x+y-9 = Third side y+5
Let us look at the second and third sides for now:
x+y-9 = y+5
x = y+5 - (y-9)
x = y-y+5+9
x = 14
Then we look at equating the first and third sides:
2x-7 = y+5
y = 2x-7-5
Substitute x =14 in the equation above:
y = 2(14)-7-5
= 28-7-5
= 21-5
= 16
The length of the third side is:
y+5 = 16 +5 = 21
Given that the length of each sides are the same in an equilateral triangle, all sides have the length 21cm.

8x5=40
Answer:
The smallest side is 7inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter side be y.
The medium side is 4 more than the short side i.e
Meduim side = 4 + y
The longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side i.e
Logest side = 5y.
Perimeter of the triangle = 53 inches
But the perimeter of a triangle is the Sum of all sides i.e
P = small + medium + large
53 = y + (4+y) + 5y
53 = y + 4 + y + 5y
Collect like terms
53 — 4 = 7y
49 = 7y
Divide both side by 7
y = 49/7
y = 7inches
Therefore the smallest side is 7inches
