The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x-3), find the value of x.

balu736 [363]

Equilateral triangle have the same side lengths. Perimeter = sum of all sides
(4x - 3) + (4x - 3) + (4x - 3) = 63
Remove parentheses
4x - 3 + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 63
Combine like terms
12x - 9 = 63
12x = 72, x = 6

Solution: x = 6

If the simple interest on $2000 for 3 years is $300, then what is the interest rate?

ivann1987 [24]

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill &\$300\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$2000\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &3 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 300=(2000)(r)(3)\implies 300=6000r\implies \cfrac{300}{6000}=r \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{20}=r\implies 0.05=r\implies \stackrel{\textit{converting to percent}}{100\cdot 0.05}\implies \stackrel{\%}{5}=r$
