Let the second side be x

then,
first side = twice the length of the second side
= 2x

third side = 20 feet less than three times the second side
3 (second side ) - 20
= 3 (2x) -20
= 6x - 20

perimete of a triangle = sum of all sides,

substitute the values we know,
and you'll be left with this equation

106 = x + 2x + 6x - 20
106+ 20 = 9x
126 = 9x
126/9 = x
14 = x

so,

measure of second side = x = 14 feet

measure of first side = 2x = 2 (14) = 28 feet

measure of thurd side = 6x - 20 = 6 (14)-20 = 84- 20 = 64 feet.

Scott and Tom rent a boat at Stow Lake. They start at 10:15 and end at 11:45. The boat rental costs $1.50 for every 15 minutes.
dem82 [27]

Answer:they would pay a total amount of $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott and Tom rent a boat at Stow Lake. They start at 10:15 and end at 11:45. The number of hours for which they rented the boat would be

11:45 - 10:15 = 1 hour 30 minutes = 1.5 hours.

Converting to minutes, It becomes

60 + 30 = 90 minutes.

The boat rental costs $1.50 for every 15 minutes. Therefore, the total amount of money that they would pay is

90/15 × 1.5 = $9

Heather chops 250 carrots in 2 hours, and 750 carrots in 6 hours. Write an equation that represents the direct relationship betw
Luda [366]
C represents carrots. t represents time in hours.

c= 125t

To find this equation, I found the unit rate, or how many carrots were chooped per hour. I then plugged it into slope intercept form (y=mx+b) where the y intercept was 0 because she can chop 0 carrots in 0 hours.

For the Black Panther Trip 420 students were scheduled to go. After collecting more parent surveys, 15% more students are going
natulia [17]

Answer: $ 10,988.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to multiply the original number of students scheduled to go to the trip (420) by the added students’ percentage (15%) in decimal form (divided by 100)

420 x (15/100) = 420 x 0.15 = 63 students added

Adding the number of extra students to the original number:

420+63 = 483 students (total number of students)

Finally, we have to multiply the result by the cost of each admission ticket (22.75)

483 x 22.75 = $ 10,988.25
