Answer:

First side, a = 8 ft.

Second side = 12 ft.

Third side, c = 18 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of the triangle be a, b and c respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter = 38ft

First side, a = b - 4

Third side, c = b + 4

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = a + b + c

Substituting into the equation, we have;

38 = (b - 4) + b + (b + 6)

38 = 3b + 2

3b = 38 - 2

3b = 36

b = 36/3

b = 12ft

To find the first side, a;

a = b - 4

a = 12 - 4

a = 8ft.

To find the third side, c

c = b + 6

c = 12 + 6

c = 18 ft.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the rate of the first mechanic with x and the second with y.

So, we have:

x + y = 160

The total earnings is: $1850, so we have:

5x + 15y = 1850

Required

Determine the rate of each

The equations are:

x + y = 160 --- (1)

5x + 15y = 1850 --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 5

x + 3y = 370 --- (3)

Subtract (1) from (3)

x - x + 3y - y = 370 - 160

2y = 210

Divide through by 2

y = \frac{210}{2}

y = 105

Substitute 105 for y in (1)

x + y = 160

Make x the subject

x = 160 - y

Substitute 105 for y

x = 160 - 105

x = 55

Hence:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

I believe the most logical answer would be is to divide so us the kcf method keep change flip so 5 stays the same then change division into multiplication then flip the fraction 1/3 into 3/1 so now we have 5  times 3 is 15
