So squares have 4 congruent sides. When you plot the points (0,0) and (0,5) the side length is 5 units. We can then take 5+5+5+5 and know the perimeter is 20 units.
Perimeter is adding the 3 sides together. Since both triangles have the same perimeter set both triangles to equal:
(x+3 + x+3 + x+3) = (x+3 + 2x-3 + x)
Simplify each side:
3x+9 = 4x
Subtract 3x from each side:
x=9
Answer:
x = 5.6 or you can write like this: x = 5 3/5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.
The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...
0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)
Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...
0.12x = 0.02(4.8)
x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient
The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.
