Answer:
2)

collect like terms

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign.

Subtract the numbers

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

Answer:

And we can assume a normal distribution and then we can solve the problem with the z score formula given by:

And replacing we got:


We can find the probability of interest using the normal standard table and with the following difference:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable who represent the expense and we assume the following parameters:

And for this case we want to find the percent of his expense between 38.6 and 57.8 so we want this probability:

And we can assume a normal distribution and then we can solve the problem with the z score formula given by:

And replacing we got:


We can find the probability of interest using the normal standard table and with the following difference:

TO find perimeter you add all sides. But to find the totaly of each side, you will divide. So a triangle has 3 sides, so you divide 45 by 3 to get the sides length of:
15 cm each
