This is a very interesting problem. What makes it so interesting is that
there's so little actual math to it. The only big Math thing you need to know
in order to work with this question is the definition of "perimeter".
"Perimeter" means
"the distance all the way around the edge of something".
The problem GIVES you the length of all the sides of both triangles.
To find the perimeter of one triangle, just take the lengths of its three
sides and addum up.
The perimeter of the blue one is (7x+7) + (5x-4) + (4x+2) .
That's it ! That's the perimeter. Of course, they want you to write
it in simplest form, so you have to clean it up. Remove all of the
parentheses, add up all the 'x's, and add up all the plain numbers,
and you'll have a short, pretty expression.
Then do the same thing for the red one, and get its perimeter.
In part-b, they want you to find the difference between the two perimeters.
No problem. Just write (the blue perimeter) minus (the red perimeter),
and simplify THAT expression.
Now they want the actual perimeters when 'x' is 3.
No big deal. Just take each separate perimeter, write '3' in place of 'x',
and find the number that the expression becomes.
Just now, looking at the picture without writing anything down,
I got 53 for the blue one and 17 for the red one.
I could easily be wrong, so you definitely have to work them
out for yourself.

Answer:yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Children’s tickets are $4, adult tickets are $14
Explanation:
4a+6c=80
If they made $4 more dollars on the second day than the first by selling one extra child ticket then we know a child’s ticket is $4 per ticket.
4a+6*4=80
4a+24=80
4a=56
14=a
So each adult ticket costs $14.
You can check by filling in $14 and $4 for each equation.
4*14+6*4=80
4*14+7*4=84
Answer:
First it says that you have to multiply the number x times 2, this will give you 2x as a result. Next you have to build your equation which is 2x=10, when you have an equation like this, you divide the result with the number before x (x=10÷2) your result will be x=5. Now you have to square the result (which is x) to get y, when squaring a number you have to multiply it by itself (depending of how many times it's asking to do so when there's a small number at the upper right corner of your number, that's how many times you multiply it) so if you have to square 5, it should be 5×5 which gives you the result of y being 25.
