Theorems are proven with geometric proof
First of all, this shouldn't be in high school category.
Second, 20 divided by 2 is 10. Dividing is like subtraction. You would subtract 20 by 2, and you would find that after 10 times, you will get to zero.
-8/-2 = 4
negative divided by a negative is always positive. ;)

15+12 = 27 marbles in total
Answer:
The smallest side is 7inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter side be y.
The medium side is 4 more than the short side i.e
Meduim side = 4 + y
The longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side i.e
Logest side = 5y.
Perimeter of the triangle = 53 inches
But the perimeter of a triangle is the Sum of all sides i.e
P = small + medium + large
53 = y + (4+y) + 5y
53 = y + 4 + y + 5y
Collect like terms
53 — 4 = 7y
49 = 7y
Divide both side by 7
y = 49/7
y = 7inches
Therefore the smallest side is 7inches
