Question

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 triangle is x. Another side is 12 more than four times the length of the bottom of the triangle. The last side is 3 more than the bottom of the triangle. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

since the guy above me is smart, do you know the answer to the following question? :  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 triangle is x. Another side is 14 more than three times the length of the bottom of the triangle. The last side is 15 more than the bottom of the triangle. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the triangle. i have posted it. THANK YOU!

also can you not use any images and stuff and just type? i cant see the images/ inputs... R.I.P

Answer 2

ANSWER

$Perimeter=6x+15$

EXPLANATION

The perimeter of the triangle is the distance around the triangle.

We need to apply our ability to convert word problems in to mathematical expressions.

we were told that the bottom of the triangle is $x$ units.

From the diagram perimeter $4x+12+x+3+x=6x+15$

Four times the length of the bottom will be $4x$.

12 more than 4 times the bottom will be  $4x+12$

Hence another side of the triangle is $4x+12$

Finally we were told that the last side is 3 more than the bottom, that will be $x+3$
