I got 6x+3
The three equations are:
(2x-6) + (3x+1) + (x+8) =perimeter
2x+3x+x/1x=6x
-6+1+8= 3
It takes 3 years for the balance of account to be $ 221
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
From given information,
Principal = $ 200
Rate of interest = 3.5 %
Amount after "n" years = $ 221
To find: number of years
In simple Interest,
Simple interest = amount earned - principal
Simple interest = 221 - 200 = 21
Thus simple interest earned is $ 21
<em><u>The formula for simple interest is given as:</u></em>

Where,
p is the principal
n is the number of years
r is the rate of interest per annum
Substituting the given values in formula,

Thus it takes 3 years for the balance of account to be $ 221
\left[x \right] = \left[ 6\right][x]=[6] totally answer
