Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 ´+ side 3.
Triangle 1
Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10
= 24
Triangle 2
Perimeter = 9 + 12 + 15
= 36
Ratio
24/36 = 2/3
The ratio of the perimeters is also 2/3
All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.
a-10
------- = -9
20
multiply 20 x -9
= -180
then it becomes a-10=-180
+10 +10
a=-170
Answer
8
Explanation
The absolute value of a negative number turns into a positive
Answer: X is 15. N is 100
Let x = sue
and then let 3x-84 = marcia
therefore
(x)+(3x-84)=132
4x-84=132
4x=216
x=54
however just solving for x doesnt completely solve. it only shows sues money because x = sue
for marcia
3x-84
3(54)-84
162-84
78
therefore Marcia has 78$.
