The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side
(s+4) = the 2nd side
and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.
(2s-4) = the 3rd side
If the perimeter of the deck is 48 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?
s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48
Combine like terms
s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48
4s = 48
s = 48/4
s = 12 ft is the shortest side
I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48
Hope this helps!

Answer:
B. 2x – 1 = 13 and x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 4 equations and a solution for each. We have to tell which of the given solution satisfies the given equation.
Option A.
2x -1 = 13 and x = 6
Using this value in the equation, we get:
2(6) -1 = 13
12 - 1 = 13
11 = 13, which is not true. Hence this option is not valid
Option B.
2x - 1 = 13 and x = 7
Using the value in the equation, we get:
2(7) - 1 =13
14 - 1 =13
13 = 13, which is true. Hence this option is valid.
Option C.
2x + 1 =13 and x = 7
Using the value in the equation, we get:
2(7) + 1 = 13
15 = 13, which is not true. So this option is not valid
Option D.
2x - 1 = 13 and x = 11
Using this value in the equation, we get:
2(11) - 1 = 13
21 = 13, which is not true. Hence this option is not valid.
