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
Sylvia puts in $121.
10% of (multiply) $210.
210= 100 each person plus an additional ten from Leroi
so .10*210 = $21.
Add Sylvia's $100 plus $21 and viola, $121
Set up a proportion: 25/100 = 50/n where n = # of teens surveyed
Simplify fraction: 1/4 = 50/n
Cross multiply: n = 200
So 200 teens were surveyed.
I don’t really know what your asking but anything multiplied by 0.5 or .5 is going to be half of that number
Example 2•.5=1
I don’t know if this is what you were asking, but I hope this helps
All I know is that it is not a function it is okay for the domain x to repeat but not the y
