the perimeter of a triangle is 14x-4. if two of the sides measure 3x-2 and 5x+3, then how long is the third side?

Answer 1

14x-4 - (3x-2) - (5x+3) =

14x - 4 - 3x + 2 -5x - 3 =

6x - 5

check let x=1. Then the perimeter is 10 and

the 2 sides are 1 and 8. That leaves 1 for the

3rd side and 6(1)-5 = 1, so it checks.
