<h3>Answer: 35.5</h3>

===============================

Explanation:

The triangles are identical. So this means that the triangle on the left has the horizontal portion of 50 ft, and the other sides are x ft (where x is a placeholder for a number).

Add up the sides for the either triangle. We have x+x+50 = 2x+50. This expression is the perimeter of one triangle. The perimeter of both triangles is simply us doubling that expression

combined perimeter of 2 triangles = 2*(perimeter of one triangle)

combined perimeter of 2 triangles = 2*(2x+50)

combined perimeter of 2 triangles = 2*(2x)+2*(50) ... distribute

combined perimeter of 2 triangles = 4x+100

We're told that the combined perimeters total 242 ft, so this means 4x+100 must equal 242

Solve for x

4x+100 = 242

4x+100-100 = 242-100 ... subtract 100 from both sides

4x = 142

4x/4 = 142/4 ... divide both sides by 4

x = 35.5

note: 35.5 feet = 35 feet, 6 inches because 1/2 ft = 0.5 ft = (0.5*12) inches = 6 inches

kramer

This would be much, much, much easier if you told us
what numbers you do have on each side of the scale now.

The idea (probably) is that the scale is balanced when
the numbers add up to the same amount on both sides.

So you need to put some numbers in the blanks that will either
add more to the side that has less, or subtract some from the side
that has more, to make both sides equal.
