Answer: 8n
==========================================================
Explanation:
The two sides 4n+5 and 5n+6 have the terms 4n and 5n which add to 9n. We need 8n to add onto this so that we end up with 17n. In other words, 4n+5n+8n = 9n+8n = 17n
So that is why the answer is 8n. We don't have anything added or subtracted to it because the "+5" and "+6" in the two given expressions (4n+5 and 5n+6) add up to 5+6 = 11 which is what we want in the perimeter expression 17n+11
Side 1 = 4n+5
Side 2 = 5n+6
Side 3 = 8n
Perimeter = (side1) + (side2) + (side3)
Perimeter = (4n+5) + (5n+6) + (8n)
Perimeter = 4n+5 + 5n+6 + 8n
Perimeter = (4n+5n+8n) + (5+6)
Perimeter = 17n+11
So that confirms we have the proper expression for the third missing side.
An equivalent expression could just be one that is simplified. So we get 9y - 2y - 10 if we distribute the 1/2, which is 7y - 10.

Step-by-step explanation:
No because if you divide 1.25 by two to find out what the half is in 2.5, it would be .62… and since she wants to buy 2.5 pounds, you've already figured out the .5, so 1.25x2 + .62, it would be 3.12.
