Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

5 + 8 = 13.

13, which is the sum of two sides, is not larger than 16, the third side.

Therefore, a triangle cannot have these side lengths.

Solve the equation for y (picture below)<br> Please show work and solve as much as you can

2)
4x-10y=12

Subtract 4x from each side.
-10y=-4x+12

Divide both sides by -10
y=2/5x-6/5

3)
13=1/6y+2x

Subtract 2x from each side.
-2x+13=1/6y

Multiply both sides by 6.
-12x+78=y

Flip it around.
y=-12x+78

Hope this helps!

What best describes the expression y over 7? 7 times some number Some number minus 7 7 more than some number Some number divided

marysya [2.9K]

"Over" usually means divide. First hint, check.

If we write it out, it looks like this:

$\frac{y}{7}$

This is the same as <em>some number divided by 7.</em>
