An equilateral triangle have 3 congruent sides.

Divide the total (15x +3) by 3

(15x + 3)/3 = 5x + 1

Each side's length is 5x + 1

hope this helps

Answer:

x = ⁶/₅

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rcll}\dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{2} & = &\dfrac{1}{x} & \\\\2x + 3x & = & 6 & \text{Multiplied all terms by LCM of denominators (6x)}\\5x & = & 6 & \text{Simplified left-hand side}\\x & = & \mathbf{\dfrac{6}{5}} & \text{Divided each side by 5}\\\end{array}$

A company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Suppose each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. If

jekas [21]

We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ , where r represents radius of sphere.
