The answer is C) 228

How?

b + m = 342

b = 2m

2m + m = 342

3m = 342

m = 114

<em>Substitute to the original equation, "b + m = 342".</em>

b + 114 = 342

b = 228

Which equation relates the number of triangles in the figure (n) to the perimeter of the figure (p)
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Option d is correct.

Equation : P=7n+20.

Explanation;

Given the perimeter of each figure is;

Perimeter of triangle is equal to the sum of all the sides of a triangle.

Perimeter of 1 triangle is 21

Perimeter of 2 triangle is 34 and

Perimeter of 3 triangle is 41

Let n be the number of figure and P be the perimeter of the figure;

the only equation which satisfy the given perimeter is;

P=7n+20

Check:

for n =1 which means 1 triangle then;

P =7n+20 = 7 \cdot 1 +20 = 7+20 = 27

for n = 2 , [ i.e 2 triangle]

P =7n+20 = 7 \cdot 2 +20 = 14+20 = 34

and for n =3 [i.e, 3 triangles]

P =7n+20 = 7 \cdot 3 +20 = 21+20 = 41

Therefore, the equation P =7n+20 relates the number of triangles in the figure(n) to the perimeter of the figure(P).

10. Multi-Step Mrs. Sullivan calculates that she
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Amount of paint to be bought = 10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of paint needed by Mrs. Sullivan to paint her house = 12 gallons

She is already having paint = 8 quarts

Since, 1 quart = 0.25 gallons

Therefore, 8 quarts = 8 × 0.25

                                 = 2 gallons

So, amount of paint she is already having = 2 gallons

Amount of paint to be bought = 12 - 2

                                                    = 10 gallons
