Can you show me a picture of the problem?
What i think the answer is 6.66 because u multiply 1/3 by 20
When x=1 and -2 so it is C
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up equation for this one.
Let's say the number is X.
the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as : X+14
five times the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as 5(x+14)
and 5(X+14) = 80
The number is 2
Step-by-step answer:
Given:
A triangle
Perimeter = 60 cm
longest side = 4* shortest side (x)
Solution:
longest side = 4x
shortest side = x
third (intermediate side = 60 -x -4x = 60-5x
The triangle inequality specifies that the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side to form a triangle. Hence
x + y > 4x
x + 60-5x > 4x
60 - 4x > 4x
8x < 60
x < 60/8 = 7.5, or
x < 7.5
Therefore to form a triangle, x (shortest side) must be less than 7.5 cm.
Examine the options: both 7 and 5 are both less than 7.5 cm.
40, 30 and 25 all have a problem because the longest side (4 times longer) will exceed the perimeter of 60.
Now also examine cases where 4x is NOT the longest side, in which case we need
4x>=y
or
4x >= 60-5x
9x >=60
x >= 6.67
so x=5 will not qualify, because 4x will no longer be the longest side.
The only valid option is x=7 cm
The side lengths for x=7 and x=5 are, respectively,
(7, 25, 28)
5, 20, 35 (in which case, the longest side is no longer 4x=20, so eliminated)
