I'm going to do this problem with mathematical equations (I chose x to represent the first, y as the second, and z as the third)
so according to the first sentence, x+y+z=270
the second sentence is saying x+y=z+98
and the third sentence says z-47=x

I would first plug x in to my middle equation
(z-47)+y=z+98
then add 47 to both sides to get z+y=z+145
In this case we are lucky because as we go to subtract z they cancel out and we get y=145 

Now plug y and x (in terms of z) into the first equation 
(z-47)+145+z=270
subtract 47 from 145 to get 98
 subtract that from 270 to give you z+z=172 
simplify 2z=172
divide by 2 to get z=86

Now go back and plug in z to the bottom equation,
86-47=x so x is equal to 39

Overall we got x=39, y=145 and z=86
To make sure these answers are correct we want to plug the back into our original equations.
39+145+86=270 True!
39+145=184=86+98 True!
and finally 86-47=39 True!
So we know that these numbers are correct

*Just so you know it doesn't really matter which equation you plug in you substituted values into, or which one you solve for first, it's all just a matter of preference....

The perimeter of a triangle is 56. The side lengths are x + 4, 3x + 7, and x + 9. What is the value of x?
Sidana [21]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
  • x = 7.2
<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>
  • Perimeter: Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3
  • => x + 4 + 3x + 7 + x + 9 = 56
  • => 5x + 20 = 56
  • => 5x = 56 - 20
  • => 5x = 36
  • => x = 7.2
<h3><u>Conclusion:</u></h3>

Therefore, the value of x is 7.2.

Hoped this helped.

Suppose you know the perimeter of n octagons arranged as shown. What would you do to find the perimeter if 1 more octagon was ad
kogti [31]

As shown in the figures given :

For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units   [As can be seen in the figure]

For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units    [since 1 side is common ]

For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units  [since 2 sides is common ]

If one more octagon is added

then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units    [since 3 sides will be common ]
