p = 18.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a. to find perimeter you have to add all the sides together
So if one side is p, and the other side is 3p+2, just add them together like this
p + 3p + 2, then combine the ps so the expression is
4p + 2
b. now you find out the perimeter is 76
So put the original expression of your perimeter and 76 together like this
4p + 2 = 76
c. So now solve the equation
4p + 2 = 76
subtract 2 from both sides to get the ps alone
4p = 74
now divide by 4 to get the p by itself
74 ÷ 4 is 18.5, or 18 1/2
So p = 18.5 or 18 1/2
We can see that John paints at a constant rate: therefore, the correct statement that describes this situation is that John likes to paint.
Haha got you, the correct answer is John paints 1 portrait every 4 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 2 equations and 3 unknowns (A, x, y). You could use any value for A and it would be correct because then you could solve for the other unknowns. See picture for many exampleS.
