Answer: Any isosceles triangle is a counter example. More specifically, a triangle with sides 7, 7 and 3
When forming your triangle, make sure you apply the triangle inequality theorem. This is the idea where adding any two sides leads to a result larger than the third side. So we have
7+7 = 14 which is larger than 3
7+3 = 10 which is larger than 7
By definition, an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides. Some books say "at least 2 congruent sides", but I'll go with the first definition. If you want all three sides to be congruent, then you'd go for the term "equilateral".
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the equation is set up like this:
(x+9)/3 = 8
Multipy by 3 to both sides
x + 9 = 24
Subtract 9
x = 15
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If you think about it hard enough, and look at it real hard, you can see. Think of like a capital L. 7 tall and 7 wide. I'm not sure but thats what I think.
Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
