Product of 4 and a number translates to 4x because the word product means multiplication.
We then need to subtract one from that which would be 4x - 1.
The word is translates to "equals" so 4x - 1 = 11 is the translation of the whole problem.
Now solve that equation.
4x - 1 = 11
1st add +1 +1
2nd simplify 4x = 12
3rd divide. 4 4
x = 3
Answer:
So each side length is 4s+6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know the triangle is an equilateral triangle, we know the perimeter of the triangle is given by since all the sides are the same length
P = 3s where s is the side length
12x+18 = 3s
Divide each side by 3
12x/3 + 18/3 = 3s/3
4s +6 = s
So each side length is 4s+6
13/3>17/4
3/16<6/31
7/11<9/13
Hope this helps!
