Answer:
[tex]3x+2 \ne x^2 \ne 2x[/tex] for [tex]x = 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Shape: Triangle
Dimension: 3x + 2, x^2 and 2x
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
Required
Determine if it has equal sides
To do this, we simply substitute 4 for x in the given dimensions
3x + 2
[tex]3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2[/tex]
[tex]3x + 2 = 12 + 2[/tex]
[tex]3x + 2 = 14[/tex]
x^2
[tex]x^2 = 4^2[/tex]
[tex]x^2 = 16[/tex]
2x
[tex]2x = 2 * 4[/tex]
[tex]2x = 8[/tex]
[tex]3x+2 \ne x^2 \ne 2x[/tex] for [tex]x = 4[/tex]
