<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>The shortest side is 15 ft</h3><h3>The middle side is 18 ft</h3><h3>The longest side is 26 ft</h3>

===========================================

Define the three sides to be a,b,c such that a < b < c

So c is the longest side, and 'a' is the shortest with b in the middle.

"longest side is 4 ft shorter than twice the shortest side" means that c = 2a-4

"third side is 3 ft longer than the shortest side" so b = a+3

Both b and c are in terms of 'a', allowing us to do substitutions like so

a+b+c = perimeter

a+b+c = 59

a+(a+3)+c = 59 .... first substitution, plug in b = a+3

a+(a+3)+(2a-4) = 59 ... second substitution, plug in c = 2a-4

4a-1 = 59 .... combine like terms

4a = 59+1 ... add 1 to both sides

4a = 60

a = 60/4 ... divide both sides by 4

a = 15

The shortest side is 15 ft

b = a+3 = 15+3 = 18

The middle side is 18 ft

c = 2a-4 = 2*15-4 = 26

The longest side is 26 ft

---------------------

Check:

The three sides should add up to a perimeter of 59 ft

a+b+c = 15+18+26 = 59

so the answer is confirmed

Answer:

Leg_1 = 15\\Leg_2 = 26\\Leg_3 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Form an equation.

(x)+(2x-4)+(x+3)=59

Combine like terms.

4x-1=59

Add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 4.

4x=60\\\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{60}{4}\\\\x = 15

Plugin in 15 for x

Leg_1 = 15\\Leg_2 = 2(15)-4=26\\Leg_3 = 15 + 3=18

Part A

x = amount of money she starts with

(4/9)x = cost of the dress

(5/9)x = amount of money leftover after buying the dress

note that 4/9 and 5/9 add to 1 to represent 100% of her money

(3/4)*(5/9)x = (15/36)x = (5/12)x = amount spent on shoes

We see that she spent 5/12 of her original amount of money on shoes.

-----------------------

We can look at a more concrete example if the previous section does not make sense.

Let's multiply the denominators 9 and 4 to get 9*4 = 36. Doing this trick will mean that the later steps won't involve decimal values.

Let's say she starts off with $36

Multiply that with 4/9 to get (4/9)*36 = 16. So in this hypothetical situation, the dress costs $16 and she's left with 36-16 = 20 dollars.

Multiply that 20 by 3/4 to get (3/4)*20 = 15

In this situation, the shoes cost $15

We'll then divide the cost of the shoes (15) over the original amount of money she started with (36)

15/36 = (3*5)/(3*12) = 5/12

-----------------------

<h3>Answer:  5/12</h3>

=======================================================

Part B

From the first section in part A, we found that:

  • (4/9)x = amount of money spent on the dress
  • (5/12)x = amount of money spent on shoes

Add those two expressions

(4/9)x + (5/12)x = (16/36)x + (15/36)x = (31/36)x

This indicates that buying the dress and shoes will cost (31/36)x dollars, where x is the original amount of money Jing has to start with.

The amount left over is (5/36)x because 5/36 adds with 31/36 to get 1.

Take 1/3 of this to get:

(1/3)*(5/36)x = (5/108)x

Then set this equal to 18 and solve for x

(5/108)x = 18

5x = 18*108

5x = 1944

x = 1944/5

x = 388.80

--------------------

Let's check the answer

If she starts with 388.80 dollars, then the dress costs (4/9)*388.80 = 172.80

She's left with 388.80 - 172.80 = 216 dollars after buying the dress.

She then spends the remaining 3/4 of that on shoes. So (3/4)*216 = 162 dollars is spent on the shoes.

Jing now has 216 - 162 = 54 dollars left over.

1/3 of which is spent on the shoe bag, meaning it costs (1/3)*54 = 18 dollars

This confirms our answer.

--------------------

Rudik [331]

Answer:

5x+9y=-16

Step-by-step explanation:

here is my work although I am not 100 percent sure I am right because,I am learning the same thing as you

-6+1 over 4+5

y+1=-5/9(x+5)

y+1=-5/9x-25/9

y=-5/9x-16/9

5/9+y=-16/9

5x+9y=-16
