Answer: Yes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In order to form a triangle, the sum of two sides must be GREATER than the third side.

a + b > c & a + c > b & b + c > a

5 + 2 > 4 & 5 + 4 > 2 & 4 + 2 > 6

True True True

The sides 5, 2, 4 satisfy the rules for forming a triangle.

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form, in the equation box below.

Illusion [34]

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

$y-4=-\frac{5}{2}(x+3)$

Rewriting this in standard form,

$2y-8=-5(x+3) \\ \\ 2y-8=-5x-15 \\ \\ \boxed{5x+2y=-7}$

The difference of the square of a number and 28 is equal to 3 times that number

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

- 4, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

Therefore, according to the given condition:

${x}^{2} - 28 = 3x \\ {x}^{2} - 3x - 28 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 7x + 4x - 28 = 0 \\ x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7) = 0 \\ (x - 7)(x + 4) = 0 \\ x - 7 = 0 \: or \: x + 4 = 0 \\ x = 7 \: or \: x = - 4 \\$
