Max has three pieces of oak trim that are 7 inches, 11 inches, and 18 inches long. He wants to use them to make a triangular base for a candleholder. Will the pieces make a triangle? Explain your answer.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Use triangle inequality theorem, which states

"The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side."

The sum of two sides compared to the remaining side:

The sum of two sides is equal to the third side. This makes it impossible to make a triangle. Therefore the answer is no.

yes,it forms scalene triangle having any angle not equal.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
