Let's just choose "x" as our variable for the length of a side of the triangle.
Two sides of a triangle are equal in length and double the length of the shortest side.
A triangle has 3 sides. Make the smallest side x then the two equal sides that are double the smallest side are both equal to 2x
The perimeter of the triangle is 35 inches. Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
x + 2x + 2x = 35
5x = 35
x = 7
So the smallest side is 7, and the other two sides are 14.
Answer:
To Calculate the monetary value of both jobs, you would have to calculate the percent tax rate of each salary and add the nontaxable benefit after taxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Reminder: since the 25% is a tax rate which we need to <u>subtract</u> from the salary, 75% would be what is left over from the salary after taxes.
<u>Job 1:</u> Job 1 pays a salary of $41,000 and $5,525 of nontaxable benefits. So we calculate the 75% that is left after taxes and add the benefits afterwards.

<em><u>So the monetary value of Job 1 would be $36,275</u></em>
<u>Job 2:</u> Job 2 pays a salary of $40,400 and $7,125 of nontaxable benefits. So we calculate the 75% that is left after taxes and add the benefits afterwards.

<em><u>So the monetary value of Job 2 would be $37,425</u></em>
