Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.

So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.

So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2(x + 3) = 8

Use distributive property

4x -2x - 6 = 8

2x - 6 = 8

2x = 8 + 6

2x = 14

x = 14 ÷ 2

x = 7
