Question

The perimeter of the triangular park shown on the right is 15x+2 . What is the missing​ length? The other two lengths are 5x-1 and 4x+4

Answer 1

Answer:

6x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 1: 5x - 1

Side 2: 4x + 4

Side 3: Unknown, y

Perimeter: 15x + 2

Perimeter = Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3

15x + 2 = 5x - 1 + 4x + 4 + y

15x + 2 = 9x + 3 + y

6x - 1 = y

y = 6x - 1

Side 3 = 6x - 1
