Answer:
A. 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is just the sum of all of the side lengths. The sides of this triangle are n inches, (n + 5.2) inches, and (2n + 3.4) inches.
So, your equation is n + n + 5.2 + 2n + 3.4 = 22.6 inches.
You can combine like terms (adding together all of the n's and all of the numbers) to simplify your equation to 4n + 8.6 = 22.6 inches.
Subtract 8.6 from both sides of the equation to get 4n = 14, and divide both sides by 4 to get n = 3.5.
Hope this helps! :)
