Question

The first side of a triangle is four inches longer than twice the

Answer 1

Answer:

1st Side: 27 inches, 2nd Side: 23/2, 3rd Side: 67/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your problem step by step:

First side should be: 2x+4

Because 2 times the second side =, and 4 longer than that.

Second side should be: x

This is the base of the equation, since all the numbers depend on "x"

Third side should be: (3x+4)-5

Because x + x+4, and the third side is 5 shorter..

We add all and we get 72.

Solve for x.

x=23/2

Now, we can solve for other sides, by doubling it and adding 4.

This is answer is correct, I tried it. :)
