Answer:
Shortest side = 39 cm.
Median side = 65 cm.
Longest side = 91 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter in total is 195 cm. The ratio of the sides are 3 : 5 : 7.
First, find how much parts there are as a whole, by combining the ratios:
3 + 5 + 7 = 15 parts.
Divide the total of parts from the total measurement:
195/15 = 13
Each part has the measurement of 13 cm.
1 part = 13 cm.
Use the following ratio to solve for each of the sides:
Shortest side: 3
3 x 13 = 39
Shortest side = 39 cm.
Median side: 5
5 x 13 = 65
Median side = 65 cm.
Longest side: 7
7 x 13 = 91
Longest side = 91 cm.
Check. Combine all side measurements together. They should equal 195:
39 + 65 + 91 = 195
(39 + 65) + 91 = 195
(104) + 91 = 195
195 = 195 (True).

Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the length of a side of the square is x.
Now, perimeter of square = 4 × side length
Perimeter of square = 4x
Also,we are told that the triangle is equilateral and a side is (x + 1).
Thus, perimeter of triangle = 3(x + 1)
Since we are told that the perimeter of the square is equal to that of the equilateral triangle. Thus;
4x = 3(x + 1)
4x = 3x + 3
Subtract 3x from both sides to get;
4x - 3x = 3
x = 3

Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
