Two sides of a triangle measure 14 inches and 8 inches. which cannot be the length of the remaining side?

Mathematics

1. The "triangle inequality" states that any of the sides of the triangle, is larger than the difference of the other 2 sides (the larger minus the smaller), and it is smaller than the sum of them.

2. So the third side of this triangle must be larger than 14-8=6 (in) and smaller than 14+8=22 (in)

3. So let a denote the remaining side, then   6 < a < 22, which means a can be any number in between 6 and 22 inches.

One equation in a linear system of two equations is 3x - 2y = 8. the system has an infinite number of solutions. which could be
kumpel [21]

The equation 3x - 2y = 8 and 6x - 4y = 16 are systems of equations with infinite solutions.

A linear system of equations can have (a)unique solutions, (b) infinite number of solutions, or (c) no solution.

For it to have infinite number of solutions, the graph of the equations must intercept with each other at infinite points, leaving the two graphs overlaying each other.

Given the equation, 3x - 2y = 8, the other equation in a linear system to have infinite number of solutions with it must be the exact same line.

To do this, simply multiply the whole equation with a real number.

Example:

Multiplying the whole equation by 2 gives 6x - 4y = 16.

Now, 3x - 2y = 8 and 6x - 4y = 16 are equations in a linear system with infinite number of solutions.

How many pounds of mixed nuts that contain 70% peanuts must Shannon add to 15 pounds of mixed peanuts that contain 20% peanuts t
Degger [83]

Answer:

10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds be the amount of mixed nuts we require.

Amount of peanuts in this mix = 0.70x pounds. Amount of peanuts in the 20% mix = 0.20*15 = 3 pounds.

So we have the equation:-

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70x + 3 = 0.40x + 6

0.70x - 0.40x = 6 - 3

0.30x = 3

x = 10.

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (a^4/b^2)^3
Oksanka [162]
The answer is B: <span> a^12/b^6

Proof:

Simplify the following:
(a^4/b^2)^3

Multiply each exponent in a^4/b^2 by 3:
(a^(3×4))/((b^2)^3)

3×4 = 12:
a^12/(b^2)^3

Multiply exponents. (b^2)^3 = b^(2×3):
a^12/b^(2×3)
2×3 = 6:
Answer:  a^12/b^6</span>

Add one set of parenthesis to make the following equation true<br> 25 - 8 - 2 = 19
amid [387]
An easy way to do this is to do trial and error.

All possible places to put the bracket:

a) (25 - 8) - 2 = 19 But since BEDMAS goes from left to right with Addition and Subtraction, the equation is unaffected.
b) 25 - (8 - 2) = 19
25 - 6 = 19

Therefore b) is correct.
