Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the longest side of the triangle.

The shortest side of a triangle measures 15 inches less than the longest side. It means that the length of the shortest side is x - 15.

If the third side is 2 inches shorter than the longest side, it means that the length of the third side is

x - 2

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the lengths of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the triangle is 103 inches. It means that

x + x - 15 + x - 2 = 103

3x - 17 = 103

3x = 103 + 17 = 120

x = 120/3

x = 40

The length of the longest side is

40 inches

The length of the third side is

40 - 2 = 38 inches

The length of the shortest side is

40 - 15 = 25 inches

Solve (x+1&lt;5) n (x-4&gt; -3).<br> A (all real numbers)<br> B [x|1 C [x|x&lt;4 or x&gt; 1)
katovenus [111]

Answer:

  1 < x < 4 . . . . {x | x < 4 <u>and</u> x > 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the answer as a compound inequality, if possible. As it is written, we can solve each separately.

  x + 1 < 5

  x < 4 . . . . . . . subtract 1

__

  x -4 > -3

  x > 1 . . . . . . . add 4

So, the solution is ...

  (x < 4) ∩ (x > 1) . . . . . . the intersection of the two solutions

As a compound inequality, this is written ...

  1 < x < 4

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

The two answer choices shown don't make any sense. You might want to have your teacher demonstrate the solution to this problem.

Answer:

<em>Part A:  3,</em>

<em>Part B:  - 4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>~ Part A ~ </em>

The problem would be in terms of such an expression: ( - 6 - ( - 3 )^2 )/ -5

Now knowing the expression, let us simplify in terms of basic algebra:

( -6 - 9 )/ -5 = ( - 15/ - 5 ) = <em>Answer; 3</em>

<em>~ Part B ~ </em>

We know the problem to be p^2/ r, but we must substitute the value of p being -10, and r ⇒ -25: ( - 10 )^2/ -25

Now let us simplify the expressions:

( - 10 )^2/ -25 = 100/ - 25 =<em> Answer; -4</em>
