The distance between the police station and the fire station is x.
The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station, so it is 2x-3. This distance is equal to 5 miles.

2x-3=5 \\
2x=5+3 \\
2x=8 \\
x=\frac{8}{2} \\
x=4

The police station and the fire station are 4 miles aparat.

Find the perimeter of the figure​
ELEN [110]

Answer: 9 \frac{1}{2} x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the Perimeter, we add all the segments up.

 (2x-1)+(4x+3)+(x+2)+(2x+2)+(1/10x-1)+(2/5x)

=2x-1+4x+3+x+2+2x+2+1/10x-1+2/5x ⇔ Expand Parenthesis

=2x-1+4x+3+x+2+2x+2+1/10x-1+4/10x ⇔ Convert fractions into same                              

                                                                  denominator

=(2x+4x+x+2x+1/0x+4/10x)+(3-1+2+2-1) ⇔ Put like terms together

=(9x+1/2x)+5 ⇔ Combine like terms

=9 1/2 x +5

Hope this helps!! :)

Deanna has $150.00 in her account.At the end of each week, she plans to take $15.00 out of her account for her spending money. W
AlexFokin [52]

Let the balance = Y and the number of weeks = x

She takes out 15 per week, so multiply 15 by x ( the number of weeks) to get 15x.

You would then want to subtract that from the amount she started with in her account.

The equation becomes: Y = 150 - 15x
