we are given with a triangle with the sides 6 ft, 21 ft, 23 ft. although it follows the rule of triangles that state that no side of the triangle exceeds the sum of the lengths of two other sides, this does not follow Pythagorean theorem: 23^2-21^2 = 88 which is not equal to 6^2 or 36. This is not a right triangle, hence. Hope this helps!
Let’s suppose PT is equal to TQ
Therefore the equations will be equal
3x+7=8x-8
3x-8x=-7-8
-5x=-15
x=3
We have found x now we will substitute it into each equation
PT=3(3)+7
PT=9+7
PT=16
Then we will substitute the second equation
TQ=8(3)-8
TQ=24-8
TQ=16
And here is the answer please correct me if I’m wrong
11 is the average...that i get.
To solve for x, the first thing to do is to distribute the 4 to (x-2). When you do this, you should get 4x-8=4x+10
Then, subtract 4x from both sides and then you are left with -8=10. Because -8 is not equal to 10, meaning the equation you are left with is not a true statement, the answer to this would be that there are no real solutions.
