A triangle has perimeter 59 cm. The lengths of the sides are 2x – 5 cm, 3x + 2 cm and 2x – 1 cm. Find the length of each side of the triangle.

2x - 5cm + 3x +2cm + 2x - 1cm=59cm

2x + 3x + 2x + 2cm + 1cm - 5cm=59cm

7x - 2cm=59cm

7x - 2cm + 2cm=59cm + 2cm

7x=61cm

X=8 5/7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
