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!

Answer:
x= -8

Explain:
You first have to make the variable by itself so you subtract 3 on both sides. The x is by itself and you finish by subtracting -5 to 3 and you get the answer x = -8

What is the value of the problem below?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term  = 6* 2^0 =  6

The second term = 6 * 2^ (2-1) = 6*2 = 12

The third term = 6* 2^(3-1) = 6*2^2 = 6*4 = 24

The fourth term = 6* 2^(4-1) = 6* 2^3 = 6*8 = 48

S4  is the sum of the 1st four terms

S4 = 6+ 12+24+ 48 = 90

If the principal, interest rate, or time in a simple interest problem is doubled, and the other two quanities remain constant, h
Alex17521 [72]

one would say that the simple interest doubles if the period of time is specified in the contract and the contract is still valid, if the interest amount is available anitime and so on.

So if the amount doubles let's say at half time for which the principal was awarded to the bank, by the end of the contract , the interest amount can be double × just increased by 1.5
