So you know 50% means half right? So then do 32*2 and you get 64.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be a, b and c.
<h3>Given</h3>
The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side
The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:
The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:
<h3>Solution</h3>
Substitute a with b in the second equation:
- c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5
Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:
- 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
- 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
- 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
- 7b = 21
- b = 3
Find the value of a:
- a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Find the value of c:
- c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
The sides of the triangle are:
- a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
2 + 3w < -1 < 3w + 5 |subtract 3w from all sides
2 < -1 - 3w < 5 |add 1 to all sides
3 < -3w < 6 |change the signs
-3 > 3w > -6 |divide both sides by 3
-1 > w > -2 → -2 < w < -1 → w ∈ (-2, -1)
As was the case in your previous question, this problem involves setting two ratios equal to each other. We call such an equation a proportion.
16 miles = x miles
(1/2) inch 2 3/4 inches
x = (11/4) * 16 = (11/4) * 2 * 16 = 88 miles
(1/2)
