55 is 55% of 100.
percents are based of of 100, so 55 would be 55/100 or 55%.
948 divided by 1,000 is 0.948
We can plug in the values of this point to find b
-4 = 17 (3) +b
We will multiply 17 times 3
-4 = 51 + b
We then subtract by 51 on both sides
-55 = b
So the full equation will be
y = 17x - 55
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.
E,D and B are all the correct choices that are equivalent to 3(4x+3)
