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
c/7 = 6 1/7 ⇒ c = 43 ⇒ 43/7 = 6 1/7
Convert mixed fraction into a simple fraction
6 1/7 ⇒ (6 * 7 + 1)/7 = 43/7
c/7 = 43/7
proportionality:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc
a = c
b = 7
c = 43
d = 7
ad = bc ⇒ c7 = 7*43 ⇒ c7 = 301 ⇒ 7c/7 = 301/7 ⇒ c = 43
...whars the figure??? You did give us dimensions but not the figure..
