18 plus 12 divided by 2 = thats how u get the answer
He initial value is 32,000 and the value after 13 yrs is 8133.97
X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7
The shortest piece is 7 inches
The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches
Check
7 + 21 + 28 = 56 It does check and the lengths are correct.
Since the price is now 15% less you would first find what 15% of 25 is by using 25*.15 and get 3.25 then you subtract that from 25 and get 25-3.25= $21.75
