Let the shortest side be x.  Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.

Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x  +  (x+1) + (x+2) 

This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
      or:        3x + 3         = 4x -1                 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
                                                                  3 = x - 1

x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6

The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.

Alex777 [14]
Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.

Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.

Mr. Sanchez bought 2 magazine for 9.95 each and 1 book for 14.95 if the sales tax is 6% what is the total cost of Mr. Sanchez pu
Dima020 [189]
Rst you have to find the price of everything together

2 magazines for 9.95 each and a book for 14.95

9.95 + 9.95 + 14.95 = 34.85

Next you convert the percent to a decimal

6% = 0.06

Now you put a one in the ones place

1.06

Multiply this by the cost of everything

34.85 * 1.06 = 36.94

The answer is $36.94

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2(6x + 4) + -6 + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

Reorder the terms:

2(4 + 6x) + -6 + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

(4 * 2 + 6x * 2) + -6 + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

(8 + 12x) + -6 + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

Reorder the terms:

8 + -6 + 12x + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

Combine like terms: 8 + -6 = 2

2 + 12x + 2x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

Combine like terms: 12x + 2x = 14x

2 + 14x = 3(4x + 3) + 1

Reorder the terms:

2 + 14x = 3(3 + 4x) + 1

2 + 14x = (3 * 3 + 4x * 3) + 1

2 + 14x = (9 + 12x) + 1

Reorder the terms:

2 + 14x = 9 + 1 + 12x

Combine like terms: 9 + 1 = 10

2 + 14x = 10 + 12x

Solving

2 + 14x = 10 + 12x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-12x' to each side of the equation.

2 + 14x + -12x = 10 + 12x + -12x

Combine like terms: 14x + -12x = 2x

2 + 2x = 10 + 12x + -12x

Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0

2 + 2x = 10 + 0

2 + 2x = 10

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + 2x = 10 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + 2x = 10 + -2

2x = 10 + -2

Combine like terms: 10 + -2 = 8

2x = 8

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

Hope it helps!
