The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side

(s+4) = the 2nd side

and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.

(2s-4) = the 3rd side

If the perimeter of the deck is 48 ​feet, what are the lengths of the three​ sides?

s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48

Combine like terms

s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48

4s = 48

s = 48/4

s = 12 ft is the shortest side

I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48

Hope this helps!

I would make both denominators the same, and the lowest one that works is 18. So I'd make 1/9 into 2/18, and 1/6 into 3/18. They already used these times so combine them to make 5/18 then subtract that from the total time they had (18/18) and you would get 13/18 they spent playing music.

Which of the following functions has the largest value when x = 4?
kotegsom [21]
Answer:The function v(x) has the largest value when x = 4.
Solution:
x=4;
e(4) = 4^2 + 6×4 + 21=16+24+21=61
m(4) = 8×4=32
v(4) = 31×4=124
v(4)>e(4)>m(4)
Therefore,The function v(x) has the largest value when x = 4.
