The perimeter of a triangle is 47 feet. One side of the triangle is one foot longer than the second side. The third side is four

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The lengths of all three sides (in feet) are = 15, 14, and 18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of Triangle = 47ft

Let the one side be 'x'

<em>Side 1 = x</em>

One side of the triangle is one foot longer than the second side

<em>Side 2 = x - 1</em>

<em>The third side is four feet longer than the second side</em>

<em>Side 3 = (x - 1) + 4</em>

<em />

<em>Perimeter = sum of all sides</em>

<em>47 = x + (x - 1) + (x - 1) + 4</em>

<em>47 = x + x - 1 + x - 1 + 4</em>

<em>47 = 3x + 2</em>

<em>47 - 2 = 3x</em>

45 = 3x

<u>x = 15</u>

substitute for x in each of the sides

<em>Side 1 = x => </em><em>15 feet</em>

<em>Side 2 = x - 1 => 15 - 1 = </em><em>14 feet</em>

<em>Side 3 = (x - 1) + 4 => 14 + 4 = </em><em>18 feet</em>

Determine the intercepts of the line.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An intercept is where the line hits the axis.

Lets start with x. The x intercept is always going to be what x equals when y = 0. So we know the second value of the x intercept is going to be 0, because the second value is y. The line hits the x axis at -1.2, so the x intercept is -1.2, 0

The y intercept it what y equals when x equals 0. So the first value is going to be 0, to represent x. The line hits the y intercept at the point 0, -0.7.

A student solves the following equation and

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{3}{a+2}-6\cdot \frac{a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$

$\frac{3}{a+2}-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$

$\mathrm{Find\:Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}a+2,\:-4+a^2,\:a-2:\quad \left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:LCM=}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)=\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

as

$\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad 3\left(a-2\right)$

$-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad -6a$

$\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad a+2$

so equation becomes

$3\left(a-2\right)-6a=a+2$

$-3a-6=a+2$

$-3a-6+6=a+2+6$

$-4a=8$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-4$

$\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{8}{-4}$

$a=-2$

$\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}$

$\mathrm{Take\:the\:denominator\left(s\right)\:of\:}\frac{3}{a+2}-6\frac{a}{-4+a^2}-\frac{1}{a-2}\mathrm{\:and\:compare\:to\:zero}$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a+2=0:\quad a=-2$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:-4+a^2=0:\quad a=2,\:a=-2$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a-2=0:\quad a=2$

So the following points are undefined

$a=-2,\:a=2$

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.
