Question

The sides of triangle have measures of x,x, and y, and the perimeter of the triangle is 46. The measure y is 4 centimeters longer than the measure x.
Write two equations which represent the two sentences, in order based on the question.
Be sure your equations are fully simplified.

Answer 1

y is 4cm longer than x
so y will be equal to x only when u add 4cm to x
So \[\color{red}{y=x+4.}\]

Answer 2

& all the sides of the triangle sum up-to 46cm.
So; \[\color{red}{x+x+y=46}\]\[\color{blue}{\implies x+x+(x+4)=46.}\]It from first eq.
So u gt\[3x=42.\]

Answer 3

so \[\huge{x= ?}\]

Answer 4

x=14

Answer 5

\[\color{blue}{??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????}\]
