the perimeter of the triangle below is 38 units. Find the length of side WX. Write your answer without variables

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add each side of the triangle.

3z+z+1+4z-3 = 8z - 2

8z - 2 is equivalent to the  perimeter.

Since you know the perimeter is 38 units, you can set 8z-2 to 38.

8z-2 = 38

Solve for z. Subtract 2 from each side.

8z = 36

Divide each side by 8.

z = 4.5

Now solve for side WX.

WX = z + 1

WX = 4.5 + 1

WX = 5.5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
