The sides are 2x, 3x-5 and 4x+2
perimiter is the sum of the sides

a.
2x+3x-5+4x+2=63 is an equation

b.
solve
group like terms
2x+3x+4x-5+2=65
add like terms
9x-3=65
add 3 to both sides
9x=68
divide both sides by 9
x=68/9


2x=2(68/9)=136/9 in
3x-5=3(68/9)-5=(68/3)-5=(68/3)-(15/3)=53/3
4x+2=4(68/9)+2=272/9+2=272/9+18/2=290/9

the side lengths are 136/9in, 53/3in, and 290/9in

4 7/8 + (-6 1/4) how do I find common denominators?
kap26 [50]
Find a number that both of the denominates make the same number for example if one denominator is 1/7 and the other is 2/6 then you

2/6 * 7 = 14 over 42 then the other one would be 1/7 *6 which would be 6 over 42 you find common denominators by finding a number both of the bottom ones can equal. hope this helps
