4x-6= x+6
4x= x + 12
5x= 12
X= 12/5
X= 2.5

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10 and 24, and the third side is x. How many whole number values are possible for x.

solong [7]

Answer:

$20$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be strictly greater than the length of the third side. For example, if the length of the three sides are $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ :

$a + b > c$ ,

$a + c > b$ , and

$b + c > a$ .

In this question, the length of the sides are $10$ , $24$ , and $x$ . The length of these sides should satisfty the following inequalities:

$10 + 24 > x$ ,

$10 + x > 24$ , and

$24 + x > 10$ .

Since $x > 0$ , the inequality $24 + x > 10$ is guarenteed to be satisfied.

Simplify $10 + 24 > x$ to obtain the inequality $x < 35$ .

Similarly, simplify $10 + x > 24$ to obtain the inequality $x > 14$ .

Since $x$ needs to be a whole number, the greatest $x$ that satisfies $x < 35$ would be $34$ . Similarly, the least $x\!$ that satisfies $x > 14$ would be $15$ . Thus, $x\!\!$ could be any whole number between $15\!$ and $34\!$ (inclusive.)

There are a total of $34 - 15 + 1 = 20$ distinct whole numbers between $15$ and $34$ (inclusive.) Thus, the number of possible whole number values for $x$ would be $20$ .

Write an inequality for each sentence.

Damm [24]

#2: Her earnings were no more than $64. Let e represent her earnings. E is less than or equal to 64 (since it says no more than $64).

e ≤ 64.

#4: A checking account was no more than $500. Let a represent the amount in the checking account. A is less than or equal to 500.

a ≤ 500.

#5: Max. ceiling height of 8 ft is required. Let f represent length in feet. Length in feet has to be less than or equal to 8.

f ≤ 8.

#6: Min. number of 12 participants required. Let n represent the number of participants. There has to be at LEAST 12 participants. So, the number of participants has to be greater than or equal to 12.

n ≥ 12.
