No, a triangle can't be made with sides of those lengths.
-- The 10 and the 20 must be hooked together somewhere on the triangle.
One end of the 10 is connected to one end of the 20.
-- Now imagine the distance between the OTHER ends of those sides.
If the 10 and the 20 are folded together so that they both go in the same
direction and there's no angle between them, the closest their OTHER ends
can be is 10 units apart.
-- So if you want to stick a 3rd side between them and make a triangle,
the 3rd side has to be AT LEAST 10 units long. If it's any shorter than
10 units, it can't reach the open ends of the 10 and the 20.
-- Seven is less than 10.
So it can't reach the open ends of both the 10 and the 20 at the same time.
Divide total pieces of candy by total people:
35 / 5 = 7
Each person receives 7 pieces of candy
Paul: 140 + 12x
Jacklyn: 56 + 16x
Where x is how many practice sessions he had this season
"After how many more practices will Paul and Jacklyn have completed the same number of laps?"
This means what will x be if both equations are equal to each other
140 + 12x = 56 + 16x
Isolate x in one side by subtracting both sides by 12x
140 + 12x - 12x = 56 + 16x - 12x
140 = 56 + 4x
Subtract both sides by 56 to shift the 56 from the right side to the left side
140 - 56 = 56 - 56 + 4x
84 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
84/4 = 4/4x
21 = x
x = 21
They'll have completed the same number of laps after 21 practices
Hope it helps :)
Branliest would be appreciated
