Answer:

  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the length of the third side. The first side is 7 ft more, so is (t +7). The second side is 1 ft shorter than 3 times the third side, so is (3t -1). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  21 = (t +7) +(3t -1) +t

  21 = 5t +6

  15 = 5t . . . . . . . subtract 6

  3 = t . . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the length of the second side is ...

  3t -1 = 3·3 -1 = 8 . . . . feet

The length of the second side is 8 feet.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The first side is 3+7 = 10 ft. So the three side lengths are 10 ft, 8 ft, 3 ft.

Multiply the numbers on the major axis which are 2 and -9 to get -18.  Subtract from that 3*4 = 12.  So -18-12 = -30.  That's the determinant.

<h3>Answer:  19 dimes</h3>

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

Work Shown:

d = number of dimes

q = 32-d = number of quarters

$5.15 = 515 cents

10d+25q = 515

10d+25(32-d) = 515

10d+800-25d = 515

-15d+800 = 515

-15d = 515-800

-15d = -285

d = -285/(-15)

d = 19

There are 19 dimes. You can stop here if you want.

q = 32-d = 32-19 = 13

There are 13 quarters

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

Check:

1 dime = 10 cents

19 dimes = 19*10 = 190 cents

1 quarter = 25 cents

13 quarters = 13*25 = 325 cents

total value = 190 cents + 325 cents = 515 cents = $5.15

The answer is confirmed.
