48" means 48 inches
anyway
the perimiter is the distance around or the sum of the sides
perimiter=48=x+3+4x-1+2x-3=7x-1
48=7x-1
add 1 to both sides
49=7x
divide both sides by 7
7=x
x+3=7+3=10
4x-1=4(7)-1=28-1=27
2x-3=2(7)-3=14-3=11
the sides are 10", 27" and 11"
x=7
Answer:
Apply the binomial expansion...
X is the number of dog
y is the number of cats , y=40
25% of x is 25*x /100=25x/100=x/4
<span>and there are 25% more cats than dogs means y+ x/4=x implies 40=(3/4)x
</span>x=160/3=53
so the number of dogs is 53 and the number of cats is 40
the total number is 53+40=93
I think the answer is 2.929
