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.

Whould anyone mind helping please. The first box says 6.25x+12x=30.75 the second box says 6.25x+12=30.75 3rd box says 6.25x+30.7
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

Step-by-step explanation:

We will write the equation to represent this scenario.

Let x be the number of people who went for movies.

Then the price of ticket for x people will be: 6.25x

They spent $12 on refreshments and a total of $30.75 so the equation will be:

6.25x+12=30.75

solving the equation will give us total number of people

So,

6.25x+12 = 30.75\\6.25x = 30.75-12\\6.25x = 18.75\\\frac{6.25x}{6.25} =\frac{18.75}{6.25}\\x = 3

Hence,

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

Rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create W'X'Y'Z'.
Snezhnost [94]

You did not attach any picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value W’X’ without the correct illustrations. However, I think I found the correct one (see attached), please attach it next time.

So the first thing we have to do is to calculate for the dilation factor. Taking point G as the reference point, we can see that the distance of point G from rectangle W’X’Y’Z’ is 1.5 while the distance from rectangle WXYZ is (1.5 + 7.5), therefore the dilation factor to use is:

dilation factor = 1.5 / (1.5 + 7.5) = 1.5 / 9 = 1/6

 

Since WX has an initial measure of 3 units, therefore the measure of W’X’ is:

W’X’ = 3 units * (1/6) = 0.5 units

 

Answer:

<span>0.5 units</span>
