Let the second side be equal to x
Then the first side is x-5
The third side will be x-5-2 = x-7
Therefore you add all the following sides and equate it to 42 yards. Ie x+x+5+x-7 = 42
3x=44
X= 44/3
Therefore the second sides length is 44/3
The first sides length is 44/3 -5 = 29/3
The third side is 44/3 -7 = 23/3
You get your hair done for $56.00 and you tip the hairdresser $20.00(D)
You have to subtract 56 from 20% than round the answer to the neared tenth.
32= 4x
That would be the equation and x would then be 8
hope this helps
