Which of these is an example of a literal equation?
2 answers:
<u>ANSWER</u>
is an example of literal equation.
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
A literal equation is an equation in which letters or variables are used to represent real values.
A literal equation consists of at least two letters or variables.
The first option consists of two variables but it is not an equation. It is just an expression.
The second option is not a literal equation because it consists of only one variable. This is just a linear equation in one variable. But a literal equation should have at least two variables or letters.
As for the third option, it does not even contain a variable or letter.

Answer:
b=0.5 in
b=2 in
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The perimeter of triangle is equal to
Solve for a
-----> equation A
Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem
a+a > b
2a > b -----> inequality B
<u>Verify each case</u>
case 1) b=-2 in
This value not make sense, the length side cannot be a negative number
case 2) b=0 in
This value not make sense
case 3) b=0.5 in
substitute the value of b in the equation A and solve for a
substitute the values of b and a in the inequality B
2a > b
2(7.25) > 0.5
14.50 > 0.5 -----> is true
therefore
b=0.5 in make sense for possible values of b
case 4) b=2 in
substitute the value of b in the equation A and solve for a
substitute the values of b and a in the inequality B
2a > b
2(6.5) > 2
13 > 2 -----> is true
therefore
b=2 in make sense for possible values of b
case 5) b=7.9 in
substitute the value of b in the equation A and solve for a
substitute the values of b and a in the inequality B
2a > b
2(3.55) >7.9
7.1 > 7.9 -----> is not true
therefore
b=7.9 in not make sense for possible values of b
