In the following activity, write an equation to represent each verbal statement, and use it to find the value of each unknown nu
mber. Then, put the solution values in order from smallest to largest. [Note: The smallest solution is "first", and the largest solution is "fifth".] 1. fourth The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight. 2. first The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four. 3. third The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The resulting product equals fourteen. 4. second The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two. 5. fifth Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one. HELP ME PLEASE, I BEG YOU
Start by adding together the shortest two sides, 7 and 8.7 inches. Result: 15.7 inches. Because this sum is greater than the longest side, 15.4 inches, it's possible to construct a triangle, whose largest angle will be close to 180 degrees.
