Answer:

  9 ft, 22 ft, 23 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the length of the shortest side. Then the middle length side is (2s+4) and the longest side is (3s-4). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  54 = s +(2s +4) +(3s -4)

  54 = 6s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  9 = s . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  2s+4 = 2·9 +4 = 22

  3s -4 = 3·9 -4 = 23

The lengths of the three sides are 9 feet, 22 feet, and 23 feet.

A candle is 9 inches long. Ronnie lights the candle and records the height of the candle, y inches, for x hours.​
DochEvi [55]

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

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

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
