Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches

In 20 minutes, John can wrap 10 small boxes and Hank can wrap 12 small boxes. So, Hank can wrap more small boxes in 20 minutes than John can.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

John wraps;

2 small boxes = 4 minutes

1 small box = \frac{4}{2} = 2\ minutes

In 20 minutes,

20 minutes = \frac{Total\ time}{Time per box} = \frac{20}{2}

20 minutes = 10 small boxes

Hank wraps;

3 small boxes = 5 minutes

1 small box =\frac{5}{3}\ minutes

In 20 minutes = \frac{Total\ time}{Time per box} = \frac{20}{5/3}

20\ minutes=\frac{20*3}{5}\\20\ minutes=\frac{60}{5}\\20\ minutes= 12\ small\ boxes\\

In 20 minutes, John can wrap 10 small boxes and Hank can wrap 12 small boxes. So, Hank can wrap more small boxes in 20 minutes than John can.
