20= b
21= none
OpenStudy (waheguru):
So Do you have the asnwer
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
20
3x - 4 = 5x - 8
gives x = 2
3x - 4 = x + 6
gives x = 5
5x - 8 = x + 6
gives x = 3,5
first is not possible as it wouldn't make a triangle
second is possible
third has sides 9.5, 9.5 and 6.5 - possible
so i make it 2
OpenStudy (waheguru):
How cant the first one be a triangle?
Still Need Help?

21
for equilateral triangle
2x + 7 = 3x - 4 = 5x - 8
x = 11 from first 2
- not consistent with 5x - 8
yes 21 = none
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
i'll recheck 3(2) - 4 = 2 5(2) - 8 = 2
but x + 6 = 8
OpenStudy (waheguru):
Yea But is not that an Issioles triangle
OpenStudy (waheguru):
|dw:1342562124948:dw|
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
but 6 > 2+ 2 - so no triangle
Still Need Help?

no 8 > 2 + 2
OpenStudy (waheguru):
I dont understand
OpenStudy (waheguru):
We can have a triangle with 2 sides = 2 and one side 8
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
you can't have a triangle with one side = 8 and other 2 = 2
try and draw it:
