3+c - (4+c)

pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket

3+c-1(4+c)

multiply the bracket by -1

(-1)(4)=-4

(-1)(c)=-c

3+c-4-c

3-4+c-c ( combine like terms)

+c-c=0

3-4=-1

-1+0=-1

Answer:

-1

Which possibly forms a triangle

svp [43]

Answer:

C. 17, 12, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater then the length of the third side. If you can show any two segments, the sum of whose lengths is less than the length of the third segment, that cannot form a triangle.

In choices A, B, and D, there is at least one sum of the lengths of two segments that is less then the length of the third segment. That shows that choices A, B, and D cannot form triangles.

A. 8 + 7 = 15 < 16 No

B. 9 + 7 = 16 = 16 No

D. 11 + 5 = 16 < 17 No

17 + 12 = 29 > 7

12 + 7 = 19 > 17

17 + 7 = 24 > 12

Yes

The perimeter of a rectangular lot of land is 436 ft. this includes an easement of x feet of uniform width inside the lot on whi

telo118 [61]

Given the Perimeter of the Lot is 436 ft, and an inner building whose base measures 122ft by 60ft. The key in the problem is that the easement is uniform.

Let X be the measure of easement. See attached

You will derive the equation where if you add X on the length of the inner rectangle length and width, you have below equation

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2*(122+2X) + 2*(60+2x)
436 = 244+4x + 120+4x

Rearranging the equation by shifting all constant on one side.
8x = 436-244-120
8x = 72
x=9 ft

Answer is 9ft easement for with respect to the base of the inner building.

The height of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 3 centimeters per hour and the width of the rectangle is decreasing at a ra

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Rate of change of the area of the rectangle at that instant = 7 cm²/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = Height x Width

A = hw

The height of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 3 centimeters per hour and the width of the rectangle is decreasing at a rate of 4 centimeters per hour.

$\texttt{Rate of change of height = }\frac{dh}{dt}=3cm/hr\\\\\texttt{Rate of change of width = }\frac{dw}{dt}=-4cm/hr$
