2x + 3x + 5x = 60
10x = 60
a = 6
Shortest side = 2x = 12 inches

Answer:

Length of shortest side = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of sides of a polygon.

Here the sides of the triangle are 2x, 3x, and 5x.

Perimeter = 2x + 3x + 5x = 10x

The perimeter of a triangle is 60 inches.

That is 10x = 60

x = 6 inches

Length of shortest side = 2x = 2 x 6 = 12 inches.

Length of shortest side = 12 inches

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Factor}\:2x^2+10x+8:\quad 2\left(x^2+5x+4\right)\\=\frac{2\left(x^2+5x+4\right)}{2x+2}\\\mathrm{Factor}\:2x+2:\quad 2\left(x+1\right)\\=\frac{2\left(x^2+5x+4\right)}{2\left(x+1\right)}\\=\frac{x^2+5x+4}{\left(x+1\right)}\\\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2+5x+4:\quad \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:x+1\\=x+4$

Solve for x:<br><br> 2x + 30 = (30/10) * 5(2x + 3) + 87

Svetllana [295]

Answer:
x = -9.375
im not sure if i interpreted the times symbol right

step-by-step explanation:
2x + 30 = (30/10) • 5(2x + 3) + 87
2x + 30 = 3 • 10x + 15 + 87
2x + 30 = 105 • 10x
-2x -2x
30 = 105 • 8x
-105 -105
-75 = 8x
/8 /8
-9.375 = x ?
