She made (?) out of 5 free throws, making the fraction
, which is the solution.
Perimeter = Side + Side + Side
Side 1 = x
Side 2 = x + 7
Side 3 = 2x-7
Plug into the equation:
84 = x + (x + 7) + (2x-7)
84 = x + x + 7 + 2x - 7
Combine like terms:
84 = 4x
Divide by 4 and solve for x:
21 = x
Side 1 = 21
Side 2 = 28
21+7=28
Side 3 = 35
21(2) - 7 = 42 - 7 = 35
It is rounded to the nearest tens. You can only round when you have 1,9. Hope I helped
Set up a proportion:
3/4/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
3/4x = 24
Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:
x = 24 * 4/3
x = 96/3
x = 32
So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:
32 - 24 = 8
So you have 8 muffins left.
