step 1: open brackets n rmb to flip the signs
step 2 (optional): rearrange to make the equation clearer to add/minus
length of 3rd side:
(8x + 3) - (2x + 1) -(5x + 2)
= 8x + 3 - 2x -1 - 5x -2
= 8x -2x -5x +3 -1 -2
= x
Therefore, length of 3rd side is X cm.
---
If perimeter = 75cm,
8x +3 = 75
8x = 75-3
8x = 72
x = 9 cm
Therefore,
1st side = 2(9) +1
= 19 cm
2nd side = 5(9) +2
= 47 cm
3rd side = 9 cm
Answer:
b=44
b=44 - 9
b=44 + 5
x+x+x = 44
x + (x-9) + (x+5) = 44
3x - 4 = 44
+4
3x =48
÷3
x=16
So, first photo contains 16 birds.
x=16
(x-9) - - > 16-9 = 7
(x+5) - - >16+5=21
16 + 7 + 21 =44
Answer is 16 birds in first photo
Hope this helps!
Is this a riddle?? Or are you really doing this :-(
using the LCD method.... well, there are a couple of ways, but let's simply add them up.
well, the denominators are 5x and 2x... so the only LCD will just be 10x, since it's divisible by both, so let's use that one.
