Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21

The product of $7d^2-3d+g$ and $3d^2+hd-8$ is $21d^4-44d^3-35d^2+14d-16$. What is $g+h$?
galina1969 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>g = 2  and h = -5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the product with unknown values of variables, multiply the terms and equate the value to the given product.

(7d^{2} - 3d + g)(3d^{2} + hd - 8) = 21d^{4}  + 7hd^{3} - 56d^{2} - 9d^{3} - 3hd^{2} + 24d + 3gd^{2} + ghd - 8g

(7d^{2} - 3d + g)(3d^{2} + hd - 8)     = 21d^{4}  + (7h-9) d^{3} + (3g-56-3h)d^{2}  + (24+gh)d -8g   ... (1)

Comparing eq(1) to the product given in question,

-8g = -1

g = 2

24 + gh = 14, sub g =2,

24 + 2h = 14

h = -5
