I need to learn how to solve this problem

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 7/2, so every side equals 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you want to notice about this problem is that keyword "equilateral." That means every one of the sides are equal, and that means you can play around with the algebra to get your answer.

In an equilateral triangle, if you have two sides 4x + 1 and 6x - 6, these sides must be equal. To solve for x, simply set these two equations equal to each other. Note that you can pick any pairing of the three sides and get the same answer; I only chose these because they look easier.

4x + 1 = 6x - 6 ... subtract 4x from both sides

1 = 2x - 6 ... add 6 to both sides

7 = 2x ... solve for x

x = 7/2

You get the same answer if you try 8x - 13 = 4x + 1, and if you do 8x - 13 = 6x - 6. Now that you have the value of x, take that and plug it into ANY of the sides to get the length. (It would be good to plug 7/2 into all of them to check your work!)

4(7/2) + 1 = 15

So the lengths are all 15 feet each.

iren2701 [21]
Ben has mixed up the digit for millions and hundred thousands: he wrote 5 in the place for millions and 6 in the place for hundred thousands, but it should be the other way. I think that he should exchange those two digits in the faulty report.

8 out of 200 is what percent
kipiarov [429]
Hey there! 

Here are the steps involved in answering this question:

1. Write 8 out of 200 as a fraction which is \frac{8}{200}

2. Turn the fraction into a decimal. To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator. The numerator is the top part of the fraction while the denominator is the bottom part of the fraction.

\frac{8}{200}  = 0.04

3. You get 0.04. Now, turn this into a percent. Move the decimal, 2 places to the right or just multiply the decimal by 100.

0.04 = 4%

The final answer is 4%.

Another way of doing this is to get 100 as a denominator.
Since, percent means, "Out of 100", we have to make the denominator 100.

1.  \frac{8}{200} = 4/100

Just divide each side by 2.

Again, the final answer is, 4%
