Complete question :
triangle QRS is an equilateral triangle. If QR is seventeen more than twice x, RS is 19 less than six times x, and QS is one less than four times x, find x and the measure of each side.
Answer:
x = 9
All sides have 35 units length
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: Equilateral triangles have 3 sides, all of equal length.
QR = 2x + 17
RS = 6x - 19
QS = 4x - 1
Take :
QR = RS = QS
To find x
QR = RS
2x + 17 = 6x - 19
2x - 6x = - 19 - 17
-4x = - 36
x = 9
QR = 2(9) + 17 = 35
RS = 6(9) - 19 = 35
QS = 4(9) - 1 = 35
Answer: negative
Step-by-step explanation:
You just have to multiply the numerators and the denominators.
The answer is 14 over 56. Then, you need to simplify the question.
So, since 56 is divisible by 14, divide the numerator and the denominator by 14.
Then you get your answer, which is one-fourth.
Hope that helped!
