Answer:
6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of "another side." Then "one side" is ...
2x -10 . . . . . . 10 feet shorter than twice another side
The sum of these two side lengths is half the perimeter, so is ...
x + (2x -10) = 14 . . . . . two sides are half the perimeter
3x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10, collect terms
x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
(2x -10) = 2·8 -10 = 6 . . . . find "one side"
We have found "one side" to be 6 feet long, and "another side" to be 8 feet long. The shorter side is 6 feet.
Y - 6 = 10(x - 2) hope this helps :)
Expand (3x)^2
When you see ^2, it means that the term(s) inside the parenthesis should be copied once, and multiplied.
(3x)^2 = (3x)(3x)
(3x)(3x) is your expanded form

The answer for 6x+2=14 is x=2.
