Answer:2x-1=0
Step-by-step explanation:
x=1/2
Cross multiply
2x=1
Subtract 1 from both sides
2x-1=1-1
2x-1=0
5w + 9z = 2z + 3w
Move terms with w to the left - subtract 3w from both sides
2w + 9z = 2z
Subtract 9z from both sides
2w = -7z
Divide both sides by 2
w = 
1st Side: 8
2nd Side: 2x - 1
3rd Side: x
(8) + (2x - 1) > x (2x - 1) + x > 8 (x) + (8) > 2x - 1
2x + 7 > x 3x - 1 > 8 8 > x - 1
2x > -7 3x > 9 9 > x
x > -3.5 (disregard) x > 3 x < 9
3rd Side: x ⇒ (3 < x < 9)
2nd Side: 2x - 1 ⇒ 2(3) - 1 < x < 2(9) - 1 ⇒ 5 < x < 17
Answer: the 3rd side must be between 3 and 9, the 2nd side must be between 5 and 17
The area of a triangle is A = (b*h)/2:
(5 * 8)/2 = 20
