Let's say x is longest side, y is shortest side and z is the other side. So we have some equations such that

x+y+z=57 (by the first sentence)

x=(y+z) -3 (by the second sentence)

2y=x-15  (by the third sentence)

By the second equation, we have y+z=x+3 and if we use it in the first equation, then x+y+z=x+(x+3)=57. So x=27

Since x=27, if we use it in the third equation the we have 2y=x-15=27-15=12 then y=6

Therefore z=24

ryzh [129]

Answer: 1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of combinations of selecting r things out of n = ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

such that ^nC_1=n

Given: A restaurant menu has 5 kinds of soups, 7kinds of main courses, 6 kinds of desserts, and 5 kinds of drinks.

If a customer randomly selects one item from each of these four categories, then by fundamental counting principle , the number of different outcomes are possible = ^5C_1\times \ ^7C_1\times\ ^6C_1\times\ ^5C_1 =5\times7\times6\times5=1050

hence, total number of outcomes = 1050
