The smallest value it could be is 4 and the largest value it could be is 10.
The triangle inequality theorem states that any two sides of a triangle must have a sum greater than the third side. Given the two sides we have, 7 and 4, the sum would be 11; this would mean that the missing side could be no more than 10.
If we take the unknown side and the smallest one we're given, we would have the inequality
n+4>7
Subtracting 4 from both sides we would have n>3. That means it would have to be the next integer up, which would be 4.
Answer:
1) y=8/3=2 2/3 2) x=4 3) x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 10+5-7=3y
Calculate the sum or difference.
8=3y
Swap the sides of the equation.
3y=8
Divide both sides by 3.
y=8/3=2 2/3
2) -10x+5x+5=-15
Collect like terms.
-5x+5=-15
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change the sign.
-5x=-15-5
Calculate the difference.
-5x=-20
Divide both sides by -5.
x=4
3) 3x+2x-4x+10
Collect like terms.
(3+2-4)x+10
Calculate the sum or difference.
1x+10
When the term has a coefficient of 1, it doesn't have to be written.
x+10
Hope this helps :)
