Verbs is the answer my friend
Perimeter of triangle = 3(side)
P = 3(s)
12 = 3s
12/3 = s
4 = s
I think there is a typo in your post.
The question should be: WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS A POSSIBLE SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE?
In that case, 4 cm is the answer. However, 4 cm is not listed among the choices. So, choice d is the answer.
The answer to your problem is x= 15/8 as decimal form it’s 1.875
Try using socratic that will help too
6x - 3y = 15.....multiply by 4
7x + 4y = 10....multiply by 3
---------------
24x - 12y = 60 (result of multiplying by 4)
21x + 12y = 30 (result of multiplying by 3)
---------------add
45x = 90
x = 90/45
x = 2
6x - 3y = 15
6(2) - 3y = 15
12 - 3y = 15
-3y = 15 - 12
-3y = 3
y = -3/3
y = -1
solution is (2,-1) <==
