A triangle has a perimeter of 165 cm. The first side is 65 cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 10 cm less than the second side. Find the length of each side of the triangle. What equation represents the length of the first side if the second side is length s?

2s + 65

165 - s

2s - 65

s - 10

2s - 65

Explanation:

The first side is 65 cm less than twice the second side meaning that the first side = 2 x second side - 65

= 2s - 65

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
