Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b)² = 9
(b + c)² = 25
(a + c)² = 81
Taking the square root:
a + b = ±3
b + c = ±5
a + c = ±9
By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.
Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:
a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2
a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2
a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2
-2 (3+5y-10) = 34
Step 1) -6-10y+20=34
Step 2) -10y+20=40
Step 3) -10y=20
Step 4) y = -2
Answer is -2
Answer:
3 22/45
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<h2><em><u>
2/9 is the answer.</u></em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>1. First, make an equation.</u></em>
<em><u>Given:</u></em>
8/9 = length of wire
2/3 = length of a part of the wire
E = 8/9-2/3
<em><u>Unknown:</u></em>
Second part of wire
<em><u>2. Make the numbers have equal denominators</u></em>
2/3 * 3/3
= 6/9
<em><u>3. Solve</u></em>
8/9 - 6/9
= 2/9
