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

Rudik [331]

Answer: $4603.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The initial cost of a car is P=\$20,000

The rate of depreciation is i=12.5\%

Depreciated value after n years is given by

\Rightarrow P(1-\frac{i}{100})^n\quad \text{where n=no. of years}

Value after 11 years

\Rightarrow 20,000(1-\frac{12.5}{100})^{11}\\\\\Rightarrow 20000(0.875)^{11}=\$4603.82
