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

(8x 2 −15x)−(x 2 −27x)=ax 2 +bxleft parenthesis, 8, x, squared, minus, 15, x, right parenthesis, minus, left parenthesis, x, squ
quester [9]

Answer:

<h2>5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x) = ax² +bx, we are to determine the value of b-a. Before we determine the vwlue of b-a, we need to first calculate for the value of a and b from the given expression.

On expanding the left hand side of the expression we have;

= (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x)

Open the paranthesis

= 8x² −15x−x²+27x

collect the like terms

= 8x²−x²+27x −15x

=  7x²+12x

Comparing the resulting expression with ax²+bx

7x²+12x =  ax²+bx

7x² = ax²

a = 7

Also;

12x = bx

b =12

The value of b - a = 12 - 7

b -a = 5

Hence the value of b-a is equivalent to 5

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Pam saved 40

her bro saves 100

let us take this as ration 40 is to 100 which can also be written in fractional for like 40/100 now we simplify it how by dividing both by 20 so (40/20)/(100/20) which will give 2/5 which can be written as 2 is to 5 so this is true
