Answer:
5x +4y
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of side lengths. That fact can be used to find z, the length of the third side.
(2x +3y) +(5x -2y) +z = 12x +5y . . . . sum of sides is perimeter
z = (12x +5y) -(7x +y) . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (7x+y) from both sides
z = 5x +4y . . . . . . . . . collect terms; the length of the third side
The third side of the triangle is (5x +4y).
Step-by-step explanation:
By using Distributive Property on 3(-x - 2),
3(-x - 2) = (3)(-x) + (3)(-2) = -3x - 6.
Since -3x - 6 =/= -3x + 6,
they are not equalized.
Absolute value tells how many spaces the number is from 0. And opposite numbers are negative numbers on the left side of 0.
