Answer:

21/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

6 + 1/4 - (3 + 5/8)

Put 3 + 5/8 over the common denominator 8. 3 + 5/8 = (8×3)/8 + 5/8:

6 + 1/4 - (8×3)/8 + 5/8

8×3 = 24:

6 + 1/4 - (24/8 + 5/8)

24/8 + 5/8 = (24 + 5)/8:

6 + 1/4 - (24 + 5)/8

24 + 5 = 29:

6 + 1/4 - 29/8

Put 6 + 1/4 - 29/8 over the common denominator 8. 6 + 1/4 - 29/8 = (8×6)/8 + 2/8 - 29/8:

(8×6)/8 + 2/8 - 29/8

8×6 = 48:

48/8 + 2/8 - 29/8

48/8 + 2/8 - 29/8 = (48 + 2 - 29)/8:

(48 + 2 - 29)/8

The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side. The length of the third side

seropon [69]

Answer:

7 feet, 3 feet, 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be a, b and c.

<h3>Given</h3>

The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side

a = 3b - 2

The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:

c = (3/4)(a + b)

The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:

a + b + c = 17.5

<h3>Solution</h3>

Substitute a with b in the second equation:

c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5

Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:

a + b + c = 17.5

3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
7b - 3.5 = 17.5
7b = 17.5 + 3.5
7b = 21
b = 3

Find the value of a:

a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

Find the value of c:

c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5

The sides of the triangle are:

a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
