Bookmark The perimeter of a triangular shaped garden is 24 feet. The third side is one more than four times the first side. The second side is three more than the first side
What is the length of the longest side of the garden?

14 1/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let 's' = shortest side

let '4s + 1' = longest side

let '3 + s' = middle side

s + 4s + 1 + 3 + s = 24

6s + 4 = 24

6s = 20

s = 20/6 or 3 1/3

longest side: 4 · 10 + 1

                             3

= 40/3 + 1

= 13/ 1/3 + 1

= 14 1/3

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.

7 bagels for $4.41       $4.41/7 = $.63 each at fresh side

5 bagels for $3.60         $3.60/5 = $.72 each at value mart
