We have a triangle whose perimeter is 32 feet. Some information regarding the sides of the triangle is given:
GiveN:
- One side is 3 times the second side.
- Third side is 12 feet longer than the second side.
As we can see that, two sides of the triangle are defined the second sides. It means First and third side can be expressed in the form of second side.
- So let the second side be x
Then,
- First side = 3x
- And, third side = x + 12
We know that, perimeters is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle, So it can be written as:

Solving it further,

Subtracting 12 from both sides,


Dividing 5 from both sides,


Then,
- First side = 3x = 12 feet
- Second side = 4 feet
- Third side = x + 12 = 16 feet
And we are done with the answer !!

In 1992: t=0 and A=169 million
In 1999: t=7 and P= 174 million
Solve for k: blah blah blah
In 2010: t=18
The answer is : 182 million (trust me)
1.65 + 0.85x= $20
0.85x=$18.35
x=21 10/17
first you write the equation
then you have to subtract 1.65 from the equation but you also have to subtract it from 20
then you divide 0.85 from 0.85x and from the 18.35 left over from subtracting 1.65 from 20
then you should get x=21 10/17 (simplified) but the decimal form is a ongoing fraction so you can just round it up to the nearest hundredth
(4logs/2hours) = (x logs/8 hours)
(4/2) = x/8)
Cross multiplication gets you:
(4)(8) = (2)x
32 = 2x
x = 16
16 logs
