A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit

"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5

The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]

The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42

The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42

Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out

-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1

then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y

1 + y = 5
y = 4

remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14

An art class is making a mural for their school which has a triangle drawn in the middle. The length of the bottom of the triang
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 5x + 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of an object is the sum of the length of its sides.

For the required triangle, we have;

length of the base = x

length of the second side = 3x + 9

length of the third side = x + 9

Perimeter of the triangle = length of the base + length of the second side + length of the third side

                                        = x + (3x + 9) + (x + 9)

                                        = x + 3x + 9 + x + 9

                                        = 5x + 18

The perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 5x + 18.
