Let the shortest side be x.  Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.

Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x  +  (x+1) + (x+2) 

This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
      or:        3x + 3         = 4x -1                 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
                                                                  3 = x - 1

x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6

The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.

Add and simplify the result, if possible. x/18 + 3/18
Slav-nsk [51]

\frac{x}{18}  and  \frac{3}{18} both have a common denominator, so you can combine them into a single fraction:

\frac{x}{18}+\frac{3}{18}=\frac{x+3}{18}

You cannot simplify this fraction further:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Answer:

\boxed{\frac{x+3}{18}}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What is the expression and answer
swat32

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>L</em> is 2* <em>W</em> so L=2W

perimeter= 2w+2l

plug in whats given to get

perimeter=2w+4w   4w is because L is *2 of W so that makes L=2w

36=6w

36/6=6

6w/6=w

w=6

6*2=12=L

now we have 6*12=72=Area
