Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we distribute, this gets us -6x+27 = 48-3x. Now, we add 3x to both sides, this gets us -3x+27 = 48. Now, we subtract 27 from both sides. -3x = 21. Now, we divide both sides by -3. This gets us x = -7.

Katarina [22]
<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>The shortest side is 15 ft</h3><h3>The middle side is 18 ft</h3><h3>The longest side is 26 ft</h3>

===========================================

Define the three sides to be a,b,c such that a < b < c

So c is the longest side, and 'a' is the shortest with b in the middle.

"longest side is 4 ft shorter than twice the shortest side" means that c = 2a-4

"third side is 3 ft longer than the shortest side" so b = a+3

Both b and c are in terms of 'a', allowing us to do substitutions like so

a+b+c = perimeter

a+b+c = 59

a+(a+3)+c = 59 .... first substitution, plug in b = a+3

a+(a+3)+(2a-4) = 59 ... second substitution, plug in c = 2a-4

4a-1 = 59 .... combine like terms

4a = 59+1 ... add 1 to both sides

4a = 60

a = 60/4 ... divide both sides by 4

a = 15

The shortest side is 15 ft

b = a+3 = 15+3 = 18

The middle side is 18 ft

c = 2a-4 = 2*15-4 = 26

The longest side is 26 ft

---------------------

Check:

The three sides should add up to a perimeter of 59 ft

a+b+c = 15+18+26 = 59

so the answer is confirmed

RSB [31]

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity, let use assume there are 100 students in the school.

No. of students to complete college = (30/100) x 100 = 30 Students

President wants to increase by 50% = (50/100) x 30 = 15 Students

New set goal = 30 + 15 = 45 students.

Total number of students = 100 students

Therefore;

Rate goal % = (45/100) x 100% = 45%
