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).

How to solve for X: X-B=A
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x−a)(x−b)=x2−(a+b)x+ab

Now, this with the third bracket.

(x2−(a+b)x+ab)(x−c)=x3−(a+b+c)x2+(ac+bc+ab)x−abc

But there’s another way to do this, which is easier. Assume the given expression is equal to 0, then, we can form a cubic equation as

x3−(sum−of−roots)x2+(product−of−roots−taken−two−at−a−time)x−(product−of−roots) , which is essentially what we got above.
