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

Length of the longest side = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three sides of triangle

A = 7

B = x+4

C = 2x + 1

Perimeter of the triangle = 36

Find:

Length of the longest side

Computation:

We know that

Perimeter of the triangle = A + B + C

Perimeter of the triangle = 7 + x + 4 + 2x + 1

36 = 12 + 3x

24 = 3x

x = 8

So

Side B = 8 + 4 = 12 unit

Side C = 2(8) + 1 = 17 units

Length of the longest side = 17 units

1. The expression that represents the total number of DVDs Suzie has is d + 39

2. The expression for the amount Dave pays for t hours of practice in a month is 10 + 2 × t

3. The expression for the total cost for n people invited for the party is $50 + $5 × n

4. The expression for the perimeter of a square with side length, x is 4 × x

5. The expression for the total cost of pizza with n extra toppings is $8 + $2 × n

6. The expression for the total cost in phone charges after t months is $25 + t × $15

7. The expression for the total number of hockey sticks for n players is 4 × n

8. The relation that represent the term for each number pattern is given as follows;

Value = nth term of number

9. The relation for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side length k is given as follows;

Perimeter of an equilateral = 3 × Side length

∴ Perimeter of the given equilateral triangle = 3 × k

When k = 15, we have;

Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 × 15 cm = 45 cm

10. a) The relation for the total cost of j jersey is $50 + $15 × j

b) The relation for the total cost of j jersey by the other company is $80 + $12 × j

c) The charges for 12 jerseys by the first company is $50 + $15 × 12 = $230

The charges for 12 jerseys by the first company is $80 + $12 × 12 = $224

Therefore, the second company will charge less if 12 jerseys are ordered

                                            2 |x-1| - 4  =  -2

Add 4 to each side:          2 |x-1|        =  2

Divide each side by  2 :      |x-1|        =  1

Possibility #1:                      x - 1        =  1
  Add  1  to each side:        x             =  2

Possibility #2:                      x - 1        = -1
  Add  1  to each side:        x             =  0

The sum of the solutions is  (2 + 0)  =  2 . 



The lengths of the sides of the triangle are made of
3 shares, 4 shares, and 5 shares.
All together, there are (3+4+5) = 12 shares.
Those 12 shares add up to 90 cm, so each share is (90/12) = 7.5 cm.

3 shares = (3 x 7.5cm) = 22.5 cm
4 shares = (4 x 7.5cm) = 30  cm
5 shares = (5 x 7.5cm) =  37.5cm

Check:                 Sum = 90 cm         yay!
