Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this information, we can form an equation.

Since there are 3 sides in a triangle, and each side increased by 6, that means that the perimeter increased by 18 inches. Down below, I did 3x because there are 3 sides in a triangle.

(This is the equation you'd want to do to get the answer)

3x + 3 * 6 = 60

Simplify:

3x + 18 = 60

Same to both sides

3x = 42

Isolate x:

x = 14

Help ? Plz forgot the steps (3z+9)(z-4)
Dafna11 [192]
It's a binomial times a binomial, so you FOIL
First multiply the First numbers
3z*z = 3z(^2)
Then multiply Outers:
3z* -4  = -12z 
Nest, Inners:
9*z = 9z
Finally, the Lasts: 
-4*9 = -36
Then, throw it all together in descending order, starting with the variable of highest degree to lowest:
3z^2 - 12z + 9z - 36
Last of all, simplify coefficients with like terms and you're good to go:
3z^2 - 3z - 36
Hope this helps!

Furkat [3]

Answer:

1/2 of the lasagna was left or 6/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Her family ate 1 whole pan of the first lasagna and 1/2 of the second pan. If they ate 1/2 from the second pan then there will be 1/2 left or in this case 6/12 because she cut it in 12 pieces.

Hope this helped :)
