Solve for x. Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second. (2x-1)(x+4)=0 smallerX- largerX-

(2x-1)(x+4)=0

If both brackets multiply to make 0, then one or more of them must equal 0. So you just set each bracket to equal 0 and then solve for x :)

2x-1=0

2x=1

x = 1/2

And then the second one:

x+4=0

x=-4

So the smaller x= -4

and the larger x = 1/2

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
