Answer:

The sides are

6

inches,

8

inches and

10

inches

Explanation:

I'd suggest that the question should read 'The perimeter of a triangle is 24 inches. The longest side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side, and the shortest side is three-fourths the length of the middle side. How do you find the length of each side of the triangle?'

In this case the question can be answered. If

x

is the length of the middle side, then the shortest side is 3/4x and the longest side is 3/4x+4

x+3/4x+3/4x+4=24

10/4x=20

x=8

Then the shortest side is 6and the longest side is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A company ships packages through the postal service. One week, the cost of shipping one
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, it says that the company not only shipped packages, but also bought a number of stamps. From the equation 6.70+0.50x, it's fairly easy to say that 6.70 is the packages,

What's not so easy is figuring out whether or not 0.50 is the stamps, or x is. However, there's an easy way to figure it out!

From this one, we would have to use "common sense" (not my words, someone elses). Using "common sense", we have to think, can someone buy 0.50 of a stamp?

Technically yes... But would someone buy 0.5 of a stamp? Not really.

So we can safetly assume that x is the "stamp", and 0.50 is <em>the cost of the stamp</em>.

Hope this helps!
