When you distribute, it would be 6x - 21 + 5
-21 + 5 = -16
this means the answer would be left as 6x - 16
Answer:
-6x^2+x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
Add -1 and 9 because they are the only like terms
2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
Answer:
(a) 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two short sides exceed the long side.
__
a) 3 ft + 4 ft = 7 ft > 5 ft . . . . . triangle is possible
b) 4 yd + 1 2/3 yd = 5 2/3 yd < 10 yd . . . . not a possible triangle
c) 3 ft + 3 ft = 6 ft < 7 ft . . . . not a possible triangle
d) 4 in + 4 in = 8 in . . . . not a possible triangle (not greater than 8 in)
__
The first set of side lengths can form a triangle: 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft.
