Answer:

The length of side 3 is 5.67 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has three sides. The x represents the length of side 2.

  • Side 1= x-4
  • Side 2= x
  • Side 3= x-4+3 = x-1

The total perimeter (P) of the triangle is 15.

P=S1+S2+S3

15=x-4+x+x-1

15=3x-5

15+5=3x

20=3x

20/3=x

x=6.67 (Length of side 2)

S3= x-1

S3=6.67-1

S3=5.67 inches

Check:

S1= x-4 = 6.67-4 = 2.67

S2= x=6.67

S3=x-4+3=x-1=5.67

P=S1+S2+S3

P=2.67+6.67+5.67

P=15

Start by representing the lengths of the three sides of your triangle:

first side:  x-4 (inches)
second side:  x (inches)
third side:  (x-4) + 3 (inches)

Add these three quantities up to obtain a formula for the perimeter, and set your sum equal to the given perimeter (15 inches):

x-4  +  x  +  x-4  -3  =  15

3x-11=15
3x=26
x=26/3

Thus, the length of the 2nd side is 26/3; that of the first side is 26/3-4, or 14/3; and that of the third side is 14/3+3, or 23/3 (all measurements in inches).

You row upstream at a speed of 2 mi/h. You travel the same distance
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.5 m/hr  

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + c   =   5 -c           c = speed of current

2 c = 3      c = current speed = 1.5 m/hr

                         your speed =   5 - 1.5    (or  2 + 1.5)  =  3.5 m/hr

PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY <3 I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1: 130

2: 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180

So to find the measure of the missing angles, we subtract the measure of the known angles from 180

For #1

∠B = 180 - 50

180 - 50 = 130

Hence ∠B = 130

For#2

∠D = 180 - 110

180 - 110 = 70  

Hence, ∠D = 70

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The first inequality is graphed as a shaded area below the solid line with x-and y-intercepts of 7.5 and 5, respectively. The second inequality is graphed as a shaded area above the solid line with x- and y-intercepts of 3.

The solution set is the set of integer-valued grid points one or between the lines.

__

B. The point (5, 1) is included in the solution area. Mathematically, it can be shown to satisfy the two inequalities:

  2(5) +3(1) ≤ 15   ⇒   13 ≤ 15   True

  (5) +(1) ≥ 3   ⇒   6 ≥ 3   True

__

C. The point (5, 1) is in the solution set. It means Michael can purchase 5 sandwiches and 1 hot lunch within his budget constraints. That will provide 6 meals, which is more than the minimum of 3 that he wants to provide.
