How do I do this, or what is the answer? The length of the second side of a triangle is 24 cm shorter than twice the length of the first side. Using f for the first side and s for the second side, translate the sentence into an equation.

ok what the question is saying to 24 * double of 24cm cause look at the key answer "twice" that means double the amount and so what is 24*2?

anonymous · Answer

48

It's also asking me how to put it down.
A. s = 2f – 24
B. s = 2f + 24
C. 2s – 24 = f
D. 2s + 24=1/2f

ok how you would put it down is like this 2s+24= 1/2 cause if you double it will equal 48 BUT with that its like saying to add but you are actually multiplying but the  other way round , get? so ur exact answer is D :)
