Answer:

<em>The length of the longest side is 18 m.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length of the second side.

Then the length of the first side is x - 9.

The length of the third side is 3(x - 9).

Add the three lengths and set equal to the perimeter.

x + x - 9 + 3(x - 9) = 39

2x - 9 + 3x - 27 = 39

5x - 36 = 39

5x = 75

x = 15   (second side)

x - 9 = 15 - 9 = 6  (first side)

3(x - 9) = 3(15 - 9) = 3(6) = 18   (third side)

Answer:

Longest side is 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1st side : x -9

3rd : 3(x-9)

If perimeter is 39, then, x + (x-9) + 3(x-9) = 39

5x -36 = 39

5x = 75

x = 15

Therefore,

1st side = 6

2nd side = 15

3rd side = 18

Bro i need this <br><br> (x − 5)^2 = x^2 − 25
forsale [732]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+25-10x = x^2-25

-x^2               -x^2

25-10x = -25

-25        -25

-10x = -50

x=5

lets check

(5-5)^2 = 5^2-25

0^2 = 25-25

0 = 0
