hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

hmmm if BC is that much, then AB + AC = 7, since AB + AC + BC = 12 which is the perimeter, Check the picture below.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Negative numbers are "smaller" than positive numbers. Just arrange them.
Answer:
y < x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First, move the x over to the other side by subtracting x from both sides. This will get you -y > -x + 4.
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the -1 in front of y. Since this is an inequality, dividing or multiplying by a negative number means that you have to flip the sign. We are dividing by a negative number, so flip > to <. The signs on both sides change to get y < x - 4.
The equation can be modeled as
X + X + (X+4) = 61
X is used for all because they are all the same number and can be given the same variable
The third is given plus four so we can use a common variable
3x + 4 = 61
3x = 57 (subtracted four)
x = 19 (divided by three)
Solving for third side so x + 4
The third side is 23 inches
