<h2>Hello!</h2><h2>Let me help you.</h2>

As I understand, you need to write an equation that relates $t \ and \ y$ . This problem will be solved using equations. The problem states:

<em>Nick bought t candies and divided them equally between his y friends and me. Each of us got 7 candies.</em>

<em />

From this statement, we know that:

t: Number of candies Nick bought.

y: Number of friends.

Since I am included in this problem, the number of people involved here can be expressed as:

$y+1$

Since each of us got 7 candies, then it is true that:

$\frac{t}{y+1}=7 \\ \\ t=7(y+1)$

<em>So t (number of candies) is a function of y(number of friends).</em>

To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ∆ABC with vertices A(-1,4), B(-2,1) and C(2,1).

First we need to find the length of each side of the triangle , and for that we need to use the distance formula, that is
$d =\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 +(y_{2} -y_{1})^2}$
$AB = \sqrt{(1-4)^2 +(-2+1)^2}= \sqrt{10}$
$\sqrt{BC} = \sqrt{(1-1)^2 + (2+2)^2}=4$
Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
$Perimeter = AB + BC + AC = \sqrt{10}+4 +\sqrt{18}$
$Perimeter= 11.4$
