Let x units be the length of the shortest side of the triangle.
Perimeter of triangle = 2(x + 1) +x = 3x + 2
Perimeter of square = 4(x - 2) = 4x - 8
Equating the two expressions for perimeters, we get:
3x + 2 = 4x - 8
The solution is: x = 10

The answer is 10 units.

Write the ratio $150 : $450 : $750 in its simplest form.
Oliga [24]

Lets do

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto 150:450:750

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto  \frac{150}{ \dfrac{450}{750} }  \\ \\ \Large\sf\longmapsto  \frac{15}{ \dfrac{45}{75} }  \\ \\ \Large\sf\longmapsto  \frac{3}{ \dfrac{9}{15} }  \\

Simplified ratio is

\boxed{\LARGE{\sf \$1:\$3:\$5}}

Samuel has a collection of toy cars. His favorites are the 27 red ones which make up 60 % of his collection.How many toy cars do
Kryger [21]
60% of what equals 27? This is the question. "Of" always means multiply.

So... convert the percent to a decimal: .6x=27.

Divide: x=27/.6
x=45

Plug it back in to check: .6(45)=27
27=27.

Or: 27/45=.6
.6=.6

The flower shop sold roses and tulips. The number of roses sold was 5 less than twice the number of tulips sold. If the shop sol

Answer: the number of roses sold is 69 while number of tulips is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of roses that the flower shop sold.

Let y represent the number of tulips that the flower shop sold.

The number of roses sold was 5 less than twice the number of tulips sold. This means that

x = 2y - 5 - - -- -- - - - - - ;1

If the shop sold 106 flowers in total, it means that

x + y = 106

Substituting x = 106 - y into equation 1, it becomes

106 - y = 2y - 5

3y = 106 + 5 = 111

y = 111/3 = 37

x = 106 - y = 106 - 37

x = 69
