You would do 1/4 and get the answer plus 3/8s answer
The correct answer is A) yes, the sum of each pair is greater than the third.
The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is longer than the third side. This is true for these numbers, so this does form a triangle.
Answer:
Hiiiii
I'm okay, how about you?
thanks for the free points! :)
Answer + Explanation
You look at the two denominators of the fractions and find the least common multiple of both of them.
1. the LCM of 2 and 5 is 10
2. the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15
3. the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12
4. the LCM of 6 and 9 is 18
<span>If 3 is added to the number: x + 3
b) ...and the sum is tripled..
"The sum" is "x + 3" so: 3(x+3)
c) ...the result is 27 more than the number.
27 more than the number is x + 27
d) Put it all together:
3(x + 3) = x + 27
Solve for x:
1) Distribute the left side of the equation:
3x + 9 = x + 27
2) Subtract x from each side of the equation:
2x + 9 = 27
3) Subtract 9 from each side of the equation:
2x = 18
4) Solve for x:
x = 9
Check:
1) x = 9
2) 3(x + 3) = x + 27
3) 3 ([9] + 3) = [9] + 27
4) 3(12) = 9 + 27
5) 36 = 36
So, therefore The answer is correct</span>
