Perimeter is the sum of all three sides so in this case x+(3x+2)+(3x+2).
They also gave us the perimeter which is 39 so
39= x+(3x+2)+(3x+2)
Simplify so 39=7x+4. [x+3x+3x=7x and 2+2=4]
Then get x by itself so subtract 4 from both sides.
35=7x
Then divide both sides by 7 to get x by itself.
Which leaves us with
X=5
Answer:
from what we're given on the drawing, ac and pt are congruent
and from the question format, ab is equal to pq, ac is equal to pr
let's recall that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know that Steve is twice as fast as Jill, so say if Jill has a speed or rate of "r", then Steve is traveling at 2r fast, now we know they both in opposite directions have covered a total of 120 miles, so if Jill covered "d" miles then Steve covered 120 -d, check the picture below.

7.407407407407407... (it repeats the 407)
U just had to divide 400 by 54
The answer is C because 15x2 represents the kitchen floor. Adding 15 and 9 represents the bathroom and the area by her front door. It would total to 54 square feet which is C.
