Algebra.Com's Answer #573975 by srinivas.g(540)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x be the length of second side \n" ); document.write( " first side = 2x \n" ); document.write( " third side = x+9 \n" ); document.write( " perimeter ( sum of length of all 3 sides) = 53 m \n" ); document.write( " x+2x+x+9 = 53 \n" ); document.write( " 4x+9 =53 \n" ); document.write( " move 9 tot he right \n" ); document.write( "4x=53-9 \n" ); document.write( " 4x= 44 \n" ); document.write( " diivde with 4 on both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " x=11 \n" ); document.write( "length of fist side (x) =11 m \n" ); document.write( " length of second side(2x) =2*11 =22 m \n" ); document.write( "length of third side(x+9) =11+9 = 20 m \n" ); document.write( " Result : lengths all 3 sides as follows 11 m,22 m,20 m \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
