Answer:

perimeter = h + l + b \\  = x + 2x - 2 + 3x + 1.5 = 11.5 \\ x \: terms \: togather \\ x + 2x + 3 x- 2 + 1.5 = 11.5 \\ 6x - .5 = 11.5 \\ 6x = 11.5 + .5 \\ 6x = 12 \\ x =  \frac{12}{6}  \\ x = 2 \\ thank \: you

Answer:

  • x = 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that the perimeter is the sum of side lengths.</u>

  • P = a + b + c

<u>Substitute the values and solve for x:</u>

  • x + 2x - 2 + 3x + 1.5 = 11.5
  • 6x - 0.5 = 11.5
  • 6x = 12
  • x = 12/6
  • x = 2

Nancy wants to buy a sweater that is priced at $75. If the store is running a 60% off sale, what will be the
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

$30.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the sweater is $75.00.  The new sale price is the original price of  100% less  60% of the original price.  That means the sales price is 40% of the original price.

You can do this 2 ways:

1.  $75 x 60% or .60 = $45

  $75-45 = $30

or

2.  $75 x 40% or .40 = $30

Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In step one, you are supposed to add 25 to both sides, because if you just subtract, it would be -5x-50=53
