Answer:

<u>The correct answer is C. 6, 8 and 9 inches.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

Length of the sides of the triangle = 12 feet, 16 feet and 18 feet.

Scale used : 1 inch = 2 feet.

2. How long should the sides of the triangle be in inches?

For calculating the length of the sides of the triangle in the draw, we use the scale this way:

1st Side = 12 feet

12 feet/2 = 6 inches

2nd Side = 16 feet

16 feet/2 = 8 inches

3rd Side = 18 feet

18 feet/2 = 9 inches

<u>The correct answer is C. 6, 8 and 9 </u>

find the smaller of 2 consecutive integers, x, if the sum of the smaller is 3 times the larger is -5. Write an equation and solv

Leno4ka [110]

You have defined x to be the smaller of two consecutive integers. Then the larger will be (x+1). The given relation is

... (x) + 3(x+1) = -5 . . . . the smaller plus 3 times the larger is -5

... 4x + 3 = -5 . . . . . . . .simplify

... 4x = -8 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3

... x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The smaller of the two integers is -2.
