Answer:

  • -1/3 < x < 3 or x = (-1/3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sides of a triangle:</u>

  • 2x, 5 - x, 4

<u>Triangle inequality theorem:</u>

  • Any side is smaller than the some of the other two.

<u>Apply to the given triangle:</u>

  • 2x + 5 - x > 4 ⇒ x > -1
  • 2x + 4 > 5 - x ⇒ 3x > -1 ⇒ x > -1/3
  • 5 - x + 4 > 2x ⇒ 3x < 9 ⇒ x < 3

<u>Combine all the inequalities:</u>

  • -1/3 < x < 3
  • x = (-1/3, 3)

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Nopes 3²+4²≠12²

Step-by-step explanation:

12²=144

3²+4²=

9+16=25

25≠144

To make it easier to see exactly WHY 3²+4²≠12² you can spread out the numbers in the equation.

(3·3)+(4·4)≠(12·12)

When solving equations you use PEMDAS (Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction). You have to solve in THAT ORDER.

Mr and mrs Jones buy cinema tickets for themselves and their three children. the cost of an adult ticket is £6 more than a child
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

£12.60

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of a child ticket be x then the cost of an adult ticket is x + 6

Sum the costs and equate to 45

x + 6 + x + 6 + 3x = 45 , that is

5x + 12 = 45 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

5x = 33 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 6.6

Cost of and adult ticket = x + 6 = 6.60 + 6 = £12.60
