Let
a---------> length of one of the two congruent sides of the triangle

we know that
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side (Triangle Inequality Theorem)
so
(a+a) > 8
2a > 8
a> 4
Rounded to the nearest tenth, <span>the smallest possible length of a is 4.1
</span>
the answer is
4.1 units

(x+y=3<br> (3x+2y=14<br> what is the coordinates for this problem
Ludmilka [50]


<span>3x - 2y + 2y > -14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 0 > -14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x > -14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 14 > -14 + 14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 14 > 0 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 14 > 2y </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > 2y/2 </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(2/2) </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(1) </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y </span>

<span>y < (3x + 14)/2 </span>

<span>y < 3x/2 + 14/2 </span>

<span>y < 3x/2 + 7 </span>

<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>“y” is LESS THAN (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>the slope intercept form of the inequality is: y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>


<span>STEP 2: Temporarily change the inequality into an equation by replacing the < symbol with an = symbol. </span>

<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>


<span>STEP 3: Prepare the x-y table using the equation from Step 2. </span>

<span>Using the slope intercept form of the equation from Step 2, choose a value for x, and then compute y for at least three points. </span>

<span>Although you could plot the graph with just two sets of x-y coordinates, you should compute at least three different sets of coordinates points to ensure you have not made a mistake. All three x-y coordinates must lie on the same straight line. If they do not, you have made a mistake. </span>

<span>You can choose any value for x. </span>


<span>For example, (arbitrarily) choose x = -2 </span>

<span>If x = -2, </span>

<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>y = (3/2)*(-2) + 7 </span>

<span>y = 4 </span>

A school has 400 students. They all come to school by bus, and each bus carries the same number of students. How many students m
Ainat [17]
Depends. All multiples of 400, you could have many different options. For example, 400 buses 1 kid on ea. 40 buses 10 kids on ea.

400x1=400
40x10=400

Just if the two numbers multiple to 400 it can be an answer

Over [174]
Its 3.8 because if you add 5.9 and 10.3 is 16.2, and if you subtract it by 20, it should equal 3.8.
