3(m + 5 + 9m)
A.
(1) 3m + 15 + 27m
(2) 3(10m + 5)
B. 3(m + 5 + 9m)....distributive property
(3 * m) + (3 * 5) + (3 * 9m) =
3m + 15 + 27m
C. 3(m + 5 + 9m) = 3(10m + 5)......m = 1
3(1 + 5 + 9(1) = 3(10(1) + 5)
3(1 + 5 + 9) = 3(10 + 5)
3(15) = 3(15)
45 = 45
Answer:
The last one is the answer.
Let the length of the shorter sides be x, then
Perimeter = x + x + x + 5
29 = 3x + 5
3x = 29 - 5 = 24
x = 24/3 = 8
Therefore, the length of longest side is 8 + 5 = 13 m.
Yes, both of your answers are correct.
Since Death Valley is below sea level, the hiker increases altitude before stopping at 0 feet.
Percent of increase is given by the formula (amount of change)/(original amount) * 100. Your work is accurate.
