Answer:

Shortest Side = 20 feet

Second Side = 23 feets

Third Side = 37 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side of the desk be x. Hence,

Second side = (x + 3) feets

Third side = (2x - 3) feets

Perimeter = 80ft

x + (x + 3) + (2x - 3) = 80

                          4x = 80

                             x = 20

Hence, Second side = (20 + 3) feets

                                  = 23 feets

Third side = (40 - 3) feets

                 = 37 feets

Hence<u>,</u><u> shortest side is 20 feets, Second side is 23 feets, Third side is 37 feets.</u>

if someone could explain how to evaluate absolute value to me I would appreciate it and maybe you could explain how to solve the
MAVERICK [17]

When calculating absolute value (like those questions above) you do whatever is in the absolute value bars first (if its just a number then.... just make the number positive, even if it is negative or already positive) and whatever answer you get inside those absolute value bars will ALWAYS be positive unless it's like -[4} then it's a negative number bcz the positive outcome that comes out of the absolute value bars gets multiplied by -1 (or just turned negative). So, for the first one you do 22+48=70 and -7--20=13 and then make the outcome of both of those positive and then subtract them from each other 70-13=57. For the second one you do 7+-33=-26 and 4+16=20 and make the outcome of both of those positive and then you add 26+20=46 and so and so on for the other problems.

A Freight train is traveling 30 miles per hour. An automobile starts out from the same place 1 hour later and overtakes the trai
Mazyrski [523]
40 I believe because the space of the auto mobile catching up to the train is 4 hours. 4 times 30 is 120 miles so u need to figure out a number that can reach 120 in three hours. 3 times 40 is 120
