Answer:

50cm, 99cm, 145cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is just the distance around the triangle. We have all three sides.

So

(x+2) + (2x + 3) + (3x + 1) = 294

Combine like terms

6x + 6 = 294

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = 288

Divide 6 on both sides

x = 48

So the sides are

x + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50 cm

2x + 3 = 2(48) + 3 = 96 + 3 = 99 cm

3x + 1 = 3(48) + 1  = 145 cm

Checking, first:

50 + 99 + 145 = 194 cm

Plug in x = 48 to the original equation.

48 + 2 + 2(48) + 3 + 3(48) + 1 = 294

48 + 2 + 96 + 3 + 144 + 1 = 294

294 = 294

A paint shop stocks 1800 liters of paint 24% of the paint is white. The shops sells 18% of the white paint and 7% of the rest of
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.

24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be

24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.

The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be

1800 - 432 = 1368 litres

The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be

18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.

The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.

This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be

7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.

The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be

77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres

If the simple interest on ​$7,000 for 7 years is ​$2,940​, then what is the interest​ rate?
ddd [48]

~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill & \$2940\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$7000\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &7 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 2940=7000(\frac{r}{100})(7)\implies \cfrac{2940}{7000(7)}=\cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{3}{50}=\cfrac{r}{100} \\\\\\ 300=50r\implies \cfrac{300}{50}=r\implies \stackrel{\%}{6}=r
