Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is equilateral :

2x +y/2 = 5x/3+y + ½ = 2/3x +2y +5/2

so the perimeter is : P = 3(2x +y/2) or 3(5x/3+y + ½) or 3(2/3x +2y +5/2)

the simplest is : P = 3(2x +y/2)

P = 6x + (3y)/2

$\tt Step-by-step~explanation:$

To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.

$\tt Step~1:$

For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:

$\tt (0.5)(6x+3)=7-(3x+1)$

Let's distribute the 0.5 first.

$\tt 0.5*6x=3x\\0.5*3=1.5$

$\tt Step~2:$

Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.

$\tt -1*3x=-3x\\-1*1=-1$

Then, we simplify the entire expression.

$\tt 7-3x-1=-3x+6$

$\tt Step~3:$

Our equation now:

$\tt 3x+1.5=-3x+6$

Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.

$\tt 3x(+3x)+1.5=-3x (3x)+6\\6x+1.5=6$

$\tt Step~4:$

Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.

$\tt 6x+1.5(-1.5)=6(-1.5)\\6x=4.5$

$\tt Step~5:$

Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.

$\tt \frac{6x}{6} =x\\\frac{4.5}{6}= 0.75~or~\frac{3}{4}$

$\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~x=0.75~(or~\frac{3}{4})}$

(this shows the percent of people that would work over time on a regular basis out of the 30 people) 12/30= (40%) of the 30 said they would work overtime.

200×.4=80 employees of the 200 would have probably have said they would work overtime.
