Step-by-step explanation:
you must have made a typo here.
none of the answer options are correct for the given problem.
let me just show you what you told me, and how I can solve at least this :
2a/4 = b/4
this simply means (multiply both sides by 4) :
2a = b
so, 5b is then (multiplying both sides by 5) :
5×2a = 5b
10a = 5b
but again, "10a" is not among the offered answers.
so, I don't know if you made a mistake with the basic problem or with the answer options.
The lengths of sides of a triangle have to satisfy the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the two shorter sides must exceed the length of the third side.
Here 9+8=17 (not greater), so these segments do not form a triangle.
Answer:
x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A 'sum' means addition, 'a number' is represented by a variable, in this case, I chose 'x'. I could have picked any variable I wanted.
The sum of three and a number means: three plus some number, which is
3 + x in math language. We write variables before constants, so it gets
rewritten as x + 3
The Answer is A, verified apex
