The legs of a scalene triangle are represented by (x++8), and (2x - 3) which polynomial expression best represents the perimeter of the triangle

perimeter means add the side

(x+4) +( x+8)+(2x-3) =P

x+x+2x+4+8-3=P

4x-9 =P

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to the sum of the three length sides

therefore

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
