Answer:
27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Combined perimeter = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of triangle = 63 inches
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)
L = 11 in.
W = 7 in.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(11 + 7) = 36 in.
Let perimeter of the triangle be represented by x
Therefore:
36 + x = 63
Subtract 36 from each side
x = 63 - 36
x = 27
Perimeter of triangle = 27 inches
It is 77.5. Using a calculator is more useful. ☺
(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
Just plot the points. easssyyyyyyo
