Answer:

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

You know z = x+4, so ...

  3z -x/2 = 37 . . . . . . . . the given relation

  3(x +4) -x/2 = 37 . . . . substituting for z

  5/2x +12 = 37 . . . . . . .eliminate parentheses and simplify

  5/2x = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5

_____

<em>Check</em>

3z = 3·14 = 42

x/2 = 10/2 = 5

42 exceeds 5 by 37 . . . . true

The given series has six terms. what is the sum of the terms of the series? 17 + 25 + 33 + . . . + 57
nikdorinn [45]
Sum of the terms of the series is

Sn = n/2 ( a1+an )

we have n= 6 , a1= 17, an = 57
so Sn = 6/2 ( 17+57) = 3(74) = 222

Could you build a triangle from each of the 3 lengths?
lianna [129]
To form a triangle the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side.
5, 5, 3 forms a triangle (isosceles)
8, 8, 8 forms a triangle (equilateral)
5, 6, 10 forms a triangle (obtuse angled scalene)

7, 8, 15 technically forms a triangle with an area of zero units. The vertices would be co-linear.
This will often be ignored as it has little practical use.

Fun fact. If you break a stick into 3 random lengths there is only a 25% chance they will be able to form a triangle.
