Answer:
The equality is false because one side is positive and the other side negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
5(4)+7
Multiply the numbers 4 and 5
20
20+7
add the numbers 20 and 7
27-3
so the number 4 is not the solution
Let x be the common ratio / or scale factor
the sides of the triangle are
5x, 12x and 13x
sum of the sides defines perimeter
that is
5x + 12x + 13x = 15
30x = 15
x = 15/30
x = 0.5
The sides of the triangle are 0.5(5) = 2.5
0.5(12)=6
0.5(13) = 6.5
2.5, 6, 6.5 all in inches
60/7 = (56 + 4)/7 = 56/7 + 4/7 = 8 4/7
1: 7.2 cant get a whole number
