Answer:

x (11 unit) is the longest side

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sides;

7, x, and x−1

Perimeter = 28

Find:

Longest side

Computation:

Perimeter = sum of all sides

So,

7 + x + (x -1) = 28

2x + 6 = 28

x = 11

So,

x -1 = 11 - 1 = 10 unit

x (11 unit) is the longest side

-BARSIC- [3]
Harry is incorrect. If Harry only ate 3/8 of the pizza and Aidan ate 1/2 of the pizza, Harry ate less pizza. Because 1/2 equals 4/8 and 4/8 is greater than 3/8, Aidan ate more pizza than Harry.

Hope this helps!!

Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.

Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
