The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 5 inches, so the perimeter is now 60 inches. Use your equation from 7a to find the original length of each side of the equilateral triangle. What is the answer to this questions?

step-by-step explanation:

sorry i just needed points for a quiz plz for give me

is this a dating site too?

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
