Step-by-step answer:

Given:

A triangle

Perimeter  = 60 cm

longest side = 4* shortest side (x)

Solution:

longest side = 4x

shortest side = x

third (intermediate side = 60 -x -4x = 60-5x

The triangle inequality specifies that the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side to form a triangle.  Hence

x + y > 4x

x + 60-5x > 4x

60 - 4x > 4x

8x < 60

x < 60/8 = 7.5, or

x < 7.5

Therefore to form a triangle, x (shortest side) must be less than 7.5 cm.

Examine the options: both 7 and 5 are both less than 7.5 cm.

40, 30 and 25 all have a problem because the longest side (4 times longer) will exceed the perimeter of 60.

Now also examine cases where 4x is NOT the longest side, in which case we need

4x>=y

or

4x >= 60-5x

9x >=60

x >= 6.67

so x=5 will not qualify, because 4x will no longer be the longest side.

The only valid option is x=7 cm

The side lengths for x=7 and x=5 are, respectively,

(7, 25, 28)

5, 20, 35  (in which case, the longest side is no longer 4x=20, so eliminated)

I need help simplifying both of these. thank you!
4vir4ik [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  1. -100x +100; 3
  2. 5x +81; 162
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The distributive property is your friend. It tells you ...

  a(b + c) = ab + ac

It can also be used to simplify the product of binomials (or other polynomials).

  (a +b)^2 = (a +b)(a +b) = a(a +b) + b(a +b) = a^2 +ab +ab +b^2

  (a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2 . . . . . . . worth remembering

1. (x -10)^2 -x(x +80) = (x^2 -20x +100) +(-x^2 -80x)

  = -100x +100 . . . . . . simplified form

For the purposes of calculation, it can be easier to factor out 100:

  = 100 (1 -x)

Then for x = 0.97

  = 100(1 -0.97) = 100(0.03) = 3

___

2. (2x +9)^2 -x(4x +31) = (4x^2 +36x +81) -4x^2 -31x = 5x +81

For x = 16.2, this is ...

  5(16.2) +81 = 81 +81 = 162

_____

The purpose of the attachment is to show the evaluation is correct.

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. How much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will
HACTEHA [7]

Ella has to add 32.833 lbs of water to get 33.333 lbs of syrup.

<u>Solution:</u>

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. Let x lbs be the amount of water Ella should add to get the 1.5% of syrup,

\Rightarrow0.5\text{ lbs }- 1.5\%

\Rightarrow x+0.5\text{ lbs }- 100\%

On writing the proportion,

\Rightarrow\dfrac{0.5}{x+0.5}=\dfrac{1.5}{100}\\ \\\Rightarrow0.5\cdot 100=(x+0.5)\cdot 1.5\\ \\\Rightarrow50=1.5x+0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=50-0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=49.25\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{49.25}{1.5}\approx 32.833\ lbs

To get 1.5% syrup Ella should add 32.833 lbs of water. The total weight of syrup is 33.333 lbs.

Multiply: 2.7 × (–3) × (–1.2). A. –9.72 B. –10.8 C. 10.8 D. 9.72
Vikentia [17]

Answer:  \text{ D) } 9.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the give expression is,

2.7 \times(-3)\times (-1.2)

We can write,

2.7 \times(-3)\times (-1.2) = 2.7 \times 3.6  ( because -a\times -b = ab)

2.7 \times(-3)\times (-1.2) = 9.72

⇒ Option D is correct.
