If the value of a is positive, the line slopes upwards.
It would be 5*5*5 which is 125 :D
Let y = the length of the 3rd side
x+3 + 2x+4 + y = 6x
x + 2x + 3 + 4 + y = 6x
3x + 7 +y = 6x
7 + y = 3x
y = 3x - 7
The length of the third side in terms of x is 3x-7
(2c) / (3b)
(2*6) / (3*2) =

Given u/7 - 1 = 7 and plugging in values for u,
For u = 28; 28/7 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3; No
For u = -49; -49/7 - 1 = -7 - 1 = -8; No
For u = 42; 42/7 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5; No
For u = 0; 0/7 - 1 = -1; No
Another way to find out which value would be a solution to u/7 - 1 = 7 is to solve for u.
u/7 - 1 = 7
u/7 = 7 + 1
u/7 = 8
u = 8*7
u = 56
The only solution to this equation is when u = 56.
