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

A store pays $365.84 for a fountain. The store marks up the price by 10%.
Ann [662]

Answer:

The store marks up the fountain by adding $ 36.58 to its original cost, bringing its retail price to $ 402.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a store pays $ 365.84 for a fountain, and then the store marks up the price by 10%, to determine the amount of the mark-up the following calculation must be performed:

365.84 x 10/100 = X

3,658.4 / 100 = X

36,584 = X

36.584 + 365.84 = 402.424

Thus, the store marks up the fountain by adding $ 36.58 to its original cost, bringing its retail price to $ 402.42.

1)A cylindrical container has a diameter has diameter of 14cm and height of 20cm and is full of water. A student pours the water
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Hey there!

1) To solve this, we want to know the volume of the first cylinder, which using the cylinder volume formula, we find is roughly 3079 cm^3. If the water is poured into the second cylinder, we find that the height is about 9.8 cm.

2) First, we should know that 1000 cm^3=1 liter. Volume of 1 cm tank height: 3848 cm^3, or 3.848 l. Volume for 20  cm tank height= 76.96 l. It takes about 7.7 hrs for the water level to fall 20 cm.

3) Cylinder volume formula gives us the answer to be 176 m^3 as the volume.

Hope this helps :)

If 24 is increased to 30, the percent of increase is a0%.
mestny [16]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage increase is calculated as

% increase = \frac{increase}{original} × 100%

Increase = 30 - 24 = 6, thus

% increase = \frac{6}{24} × 100% = 0.25 × 100% = 25%
