Check the picture below.
so our bases are "d" and "d+a+b", and a height of "c".

If this is asking 5% of $530 then the answer is 26.5
If this is asking that 530 is 5% then the answer is 10600
A yard is three feet
If this is two-twenty thirds of a yard
that is 0.26 feet
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Angie=x
Susan = x+3
Rebecca = 3(x+3)
Total = 5x+12
If Angie has 4 then the total is 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Angie has x games
Susan has 3 more games than Angie has
Susan = x+3
Rebecca has 3 times more games than Susan
Rebecca = 3Susan
We know Susan has x+3 so replacing it in
Rebecca = 3 (x+3)
The total number of games is Angie + Susan + Rebecca
x + x+3 + 3(x+3)
Distributing the 3
x + x+3 + 3x+9
Combining like terms
5x+12
The total number of games is
5x+12
If Angie has 4 games, x=4
The total number of games is 5(x)+12
5*4+12
20+12
32
