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

Find simple interest on #1200 for 3 years at 4.25% per anum​
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$153.00

Step-by-step explanation:

A = $1,353.00

(I = A - P = $153.00)

Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4.25%/100 = 0.0425 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 1200(1 + (0.0425 × 3)) = 1353

A = $1,353.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $1,200.00 at a rate of 4.25% per year for 3 years is $1,353.00.

Claire said that 10/15 of her CDs are country music. Which statement could be true based upon this relationship?
never [62]

Answer:

C. Claire has 10 country CDs and 5 Jazz CDs

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{10}{15} means that 10 out of 15. So we can assume that in total she has 15 CDs and 10 of them are Country and the other is Jazz.

This would rule out choice D.

If we reduce this fraction then we would have:

\dfrac{10}{15} = \dfrac{2}{3}

This means that two-thirds of her CDs are country music. So this would rule out A and B choices.

Now C is correct because 10 country plus 5 Jazz is equal to 15 CDs. So we have the correct total.

The answer is C.
