Answer:

The side lengths of the tile are 8 Inches and 10.5 Inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b)

Let

a = shorter side

b = longer side

b = a + 2.5 inches

The perimeter of each tile is 37 inches

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b)

37 = 2{a + (a + 2.5)}

37 = 2{a + a + 2.5}

37 = 2(2a + 2.5)

37 = 4a + 5

37 - 5 = 4a

32 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4

a = 32/4

= 8

a = 8 inches

b = a + 2.5 inches

= 8 + 2.5

= 10.5 inches

b = 10.5 inches

The side lengths of the tile are 8 Inches and 10.5 Inches.

Hey there! 

In order to find out the answer to this question, we can distribute 

-30 = 2(x - 97) \\ \\ \\ 2(x) = 2x \\ \\ 2(97) = 197

Flip your problem around! 

2x - 194 = -30

Add by 194 on each of your sides 

Like:  2x - 194 + 194 \\ \\ \\ -30 + 194

Cancel out: -194 + 194  because they would give you the outcome of 0

Keep: -30 + 194 [/tex] because that'll give you: [tex]164

Your problem becomes: 2x = 164

Now, we have to divide by 2 on each of the sides

Like: \frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{164}{2}

Cancel: \frac{2x}{2} because it will give you a outcome of 1

Keep: \frac{164}{2} because this will give you your answer

Answer: x = 82

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
