P = a + b + c where a < b < c

P = 42 in
b = 18 in
a = x
c = 4x - 1

The equation:

x + 18 + 4x - 1 = 42    |combine items

5x + 17 = 42      |subtract 17 from both sides

5x = 25    |divide both sides by 5

x = 5 (in)

c = 4 · 5 - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 (in)

Answer: The length of the longest side is 19 in.

Nady [450]

Answer:

- 9x² + 10x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the subtraction as

- 4x² + 2x - 8 - (5x² - 8x - 12 ) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= - 4x² + 2x - 8 - 5x² + 8x + 12 ← collect like terms

Cerrena [4.2K]
Answer: 8 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of batches she made, we can just use proportion to solve it. But first, we need to convert 5 1/3 to improper fraction
5 1/3 = 16/3
Then we can now use the proportion to solve
2/3 cups = 1 batch
16/3 cups = x (note:5 1/3=16/3)
cross multiply
2/3 × x = 16 /3
2x/ 3 = 16/3
we need to make x the subject of the formula, to do that we will multiply each side of the equation by 3/2
2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2
6x /6 = 48 / 6
x = 8
Therefore she made 8 batches of cookies.
