You'll set the two expressions equal to 95.
So 2x+119=95
Then 2x=-24
Finally x=-12
4/9 x 27 = girls
12 girls
5/9 x 27 = boys
15boys
Rate of discount = (old price - new price)/old price x 100 = (1280 - 1030)/1280 x 100 = 250/1280 x 100 = 19.5%
Amount of discount = old price - new price = $1,280 - $1,030 = $250
The equation can be modeled as
X + X + (X+4) = 61
X is used for all because they are all the same number and can be given the same variable
The third is given plus four so we can use a common variable
3x + 4 = 61
3x = 57 (subtracted four)
x = 19 (divided by three)
Solving for third side so x + 4
The third side is 23 inches
