Answer:

The longest sides is 18 m long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x meters be the length of the first side.

The length of the second side = x+9 m.

The length of the third = 3x m.

Perimeter = x + 3x + x + 9 = 39

5x + 9 = 39

5x = 30

x = 6 m.

The other 2 sides are  6+9 = 15 m and 3*6 = 18 m.

A total of 430 tickets were sold for the school play . They were either adult tickets or student tickets . There were 70 fewer s
Maurinko [17]
So first we assume that half is adult and have is student.

So
215 adult  215 student

Now since it said they were 70 less student tickets than adult tickets we subtract 70.
215 - 70 = 145

Now we add the 70 we subtracted from student tickets to the adult tickets.
215 + 70 = 285

So there were 
285 adult tickets sold and 145 student tickets sold

I hope this helped. Have a great day!

Answer:

8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all 4 angles are congruent, the sides are proportional.

the scale factor is 5/30 = 1/6.

meaning x = 16(1/6)=8/3.
