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

F(x) : |x|
lutik1710 [3]
-2•f(x+1)+6 = -2 |x+1| +6, which is NOT g(x).

-2•f(x+1)+3 = -2 |x+1| +3, which IS g(x).

Side note: you’re writing g(x) in terms of f(x), because f(x) is in the answer.

If you want to write f(x) in terms of g(x), then g(x) would be in the answer.
