Answer: 8n
==========================================================
Explanation:
The two sides 4n+5 and 5n+6 have the terms 4n and 5n which add to 9n. We need 8n to add onto this so that we end up with 17n. In other words, 4n+5n+8n = 9n+8n = 17n
So that is why the answer is 8n. We don't have anything added or subtracted to it because the "+5" and "+6" in the two given expressions (4n+5 and 5n+6) add up to 5+6 = 11 which is what we want in the perimeter expression 17n+11
Side 1 = 4n+5
Side 2 = 5n+6
Side 3 = 8n
Perimeter = (side1) + (side2) + (side3)
Perimeter = (4n+5) + (5n+6) + (8n)
Perimeter = 4n+5 + 5n+6 + 8n
Perimeter = (4n+5n+8n) + (5+6)
Perimeter = 17n+11
So that confirms we have the proper expression for the third missing side.
Answer:
<em>No</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>sweets</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>123</em><em> </em>
<em>No</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>children</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em> </em>
<em>then</em>
<em>sweets</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em>children</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>123</em><em>/</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>17</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>57</em>
So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
4n+7−(7n−8)
=4n+7+−1(7n−8)
=4n+7+−1(7n)+(−1)(−8)
=4n+7+−7n+8
Combine Like Terms
=4n+7+−7n+8
=(4n+−7n)+(7+8)
=−3n+15
