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

Here is a system of linear equations: y= x+4 y= -3x-8
ipn [44]

Answer:

  • A) (-3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system of linear equations: </u>

  • y= x+4
  • y= -3x-8

---

  • x + 4 = -3x - 8
  • x + 3x = - 8 - 4
  • 4x = -12
  • x = -3

Then

  • y =-3 + 4 = 1

Solution is (-3, 1)

Correct option is A
