Perimeter is adding the 3 sides together. Since both triangles have the same perimeter set both triangles to equal:
(x+3 + x+3 + x+3) = (x+3 + 2x-3 + x)
Simplify each side:
3x+9 = 4x
Subtract 3x from each side:
x=9
A recipe for trail mix calls for a ratio of 4 to 1 of M&M's to sunflower seeds by weight. How many ounces of sunflower seeds will there be in this mixture if there are 2 pounds of M&M's?

I think I may be missing something ... I don't completely understand your question.
All you need to make a fraction is two numbers and a bar. The bar can be either
horizontal or slanty. Then you write one number on top and the other number on
the bottom, and bada-bing, you have a fraction.
You can make fractions like
2700 / 600
27 / 6
9 / 2 (all 3 of these have the same value)
600 / 2700
6 / 27
2 / 9 (all 3 of these have the same value)
