4 shelves of consecutive even numbers
x , x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

5 ft = 60 inches

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 60....combine like terms
4x + 12 = 60
4x = 60 - 12
4x = 48
x = 48/4
x = 12 <==== one 12 inches

x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 <== one is 14 inches
x + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 <== one is 16 inches
x + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 <== one is 18 inches

Can atriangle be formed with side lengths of 5cm. 10cm and 15cm
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Theorem of cosine:
a²=b²+c²-2bc(cos α)  ⇒cos α=-(a²-b²-c²) / 2bc

In this case:
a=15 cm
b=10 cm
c=5 cm

cos α=-(15²-10²-5²) / 2*10*5
cos α=-100 / 100
cos α=-1

A=arc cos -1=180º  This is impossible, because:

A+B+C=180º; then  B=C=0º  This is impossible for make a triangle  (B>0 and C>0 if we want to make a triangle).  

Therefore: it is not possible can make a triangle with side lengths of 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm.

What is the solution to a system of linear equations if the answer is -3=-3?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is saying that -3 is equal to 3. But that is false so it would make the system of linear equations be no solution. Which means that you are giving a number that is equal to another number when its not. For example, lets say that you are given 4=-20 well that would be no solution because those aren't equal. Now lets say you are given 20=20 that would be infinitely many solutions because the two numbers are equal to each other.

Hope this helps
