Answer:
9 ft, 22 ft, 23 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the length of the shortest side. Then the middle length side is (2s+4) and the longest side is (3s-4). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:
54 = s +(2s +4) +(3s -4)
54 = 6s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
9 = s . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
2s+4 = 2·9 +4 = 22
3s -4 = 3·9 -4 = 23
The lengths of the three sides are 9 feet, 22 feet, and 23 feet.
Answer:
it should be the negative repirocal of -2 so 1/2
(1/2)^2 = 1/4
2-2/3 = 6/3 - 2/3 = 4/3
OK so:
(1/2)^2 - 6(2-2/3) = 1/4 - 6(4/3)
= 1/4 - 8
= 1/4 - 32/4
= -31/4
2t+3n=9 2(2)+3n=9
+5t-3n=5 (the 3n cancel out) 4+3n=9
7t=14 3n=5
t=2 n=5/3 or 1.67
