Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange 6x + y= -5, -6x + 12y=96 vertically:
6x + y= -5
-6x + 12y=96 Now combine like terms:
--------------------
13y = 91
Solving for y by dividing both sides by 13: y = 7
Find x by substituting 7 for y in the second equation: -6x + 12(7) = 96
Then -6x = -84 + 96, or:
-6x = 12, and so x = -2
144
1,728 divided by 12 is 144

"<span>one side(s) twice the length of the shortest side(x)" = 2x
"</span><span>the third side(t) is 30 feet more than the length of the shortest side " = x+30
</span>Shortest side= x
Perimeter= side1+ side 2 + side 3
138ft= x+2x+x+30
138= 4x+30
108=4x
x= 27 feet
Answer:
The shortest side is 27ft. The middle side 2x= 2(27)= 54ft. The longest side being x+30= 27+30= 57ft.
