Answer:
a 80
Step-by-step explanation:
7200 / 90 = 80
Answer:
Y = 6 X=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
- Add the numbers 8x+-8x=0. 5y+y=6y. 22+14=36
- So that means 6y=36. So Y would equal 6
- Substitute the values it one of the original equations. 8x + 5(6) =22. 8x+30=22
- Minus 22 from both sides.
- That would give you 8x=-8
- So x would equal - 1

Answer:
a. x, x+2, x+4
b. 10 ≤ 3x+6 ≤ 24
c. 6 ft, 8 ft, or 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>:
- The lengths of the sides of a certain triangle, in feet, are consecutive even integers.
- The perimeter of this triangle is between 10 feet and 24 feet inclusive.
<u>Find</u>:
a. Using one variable, write three expressions that represent the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.
b. Write a compound inequality to model this problem.
c. Solve the inequality. List all possible lengths for the longest side of the triangle.
<u>Solution</u>:
You have let x represent the shortest side. (Note that the question asks for the length of the longest side.)
a. The expressions for side lengths can be x, x+2, x+4 when x is the shortest side.
__
b. Here is the compound inequality
10 ≤ x+(x+2)+(x+4) ≤ 24
__
c. Here is the solution
10 ≤ 3x+6 ≤ 24 . . . . collect terms
4 ≤ 3x ≤ 18 . . . . . . . subtract 6
4/3 ≤ x ≤ 6 . . . . . . . . divide by 3
<em>Your working is correct, but incomplete</em>. The values of interest are the even integers x+4.
5 1/3 ≤ x+4 ≤ 10
The longest side may be 6 ft, 8 ft, or 10 ft.
