Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
m cups of water = p cups of rice
Required
Cups of water required for p + 2 cups of rice
<em>The question shows a direct proportion between cups of rice and cups of water.</em>
<em>So, the first step is to get the proportionality constant (k)</em>
<em />
This is calculated using the following expression;

Where k represents cups of water and p represents cups of rice
Make k the subject of formula

Let x represents cups of water when cups of rice becomes p + 2;
k becomes:

Equate both expressions of k; to give

Multiply both sides by p + 2




<em>Hence, the expression that represents the cups of water needed is </em>
<em></em>
8z +3 - 2z < 51
6z + 3 < 51
-3. -3
6z < 48

Heya !
Using a theoram about triangles ,
Given a triangle ∆ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side ,
Also , the length of third side always greater than absolute difference of the other two sides ,
Let the third side be x ,
So , x < 9 + 8 and x > 9 - 8
x < 17 and x > 1
Hence , x ∈ [ 2 , 17 ] inch.
Above case is true for any triangle , be it scalene , Isosceles , Right-angled ...
As , for Isosceles , the third side can be 8 or 9 inches ,
For scalene , all values in the above range satusfies ,
For right angled triangle , we have 2 cases ,
Case 1 : Third side is the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²+8²) = √145 = 12.0415 inch.
Case 2 : Third side is not the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²-8²) = √17 = 4.1231 inch.
Hope it helps you ! :)
