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

The population of a city is expected to
Furkat [3]

\huge\boxed{1.0925p}

Since the population is going to increase by a certain percentage, we have to add 100\% to the percentage to keep the original population.

9.25\%+100\%=109.25\%

Now, convert the percentage into a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal place two places to the left.

109.25\longrightarrow 1.0925

Now, just multiply that by p.

\large\boxed{1.0925p}
