The expression 17n + 11 represents the perimeter (in feet) of the triangle. Two sides are measured at 5n + 6 and 4n + 5.

Write an expression that represents the measure of the third side.

Would 8n + 22 be correct?

8n

I did math, 8n is the correct answer. :) Thank me later

8n

8n

it is 8n thank you all

It is, in fact 8n, I had this as a homework question and i checked it with my teacher, she said it was correct

8n

9n

8n

No.

You correctly subtracted 9n from 17n. Do you see what you did wrong?

is 17n+11 - (5n+6) - (4n+5) right?

17n + 11= 5n+6+4n+5+?

Yes, so far. Now simplify that by combining like terms.

(17n + 5n + 4n) + (11 + 6 + 5) = 26n + 22?

No. Your question asks for the measurement of the third side. Obviously it's not longer than the perimeter.

Is it 8n or 9n+ 8??????sksksksk

9h + 8
