x + 3x + (3x + 2) = 632
7x + 2 = 632
7x = 632 - 2 = 630
Can you solve for x now?

yes

Answer 4

632-2??

Answer 5

7x = 630
x = 630/7 = ? feet

\[(3\times 90)+2=?feet\]

Answer 8

272

Answer 9

Yes. 270 feet is the length of another side. How about the third side which is \[3\times 90=?feet\]

Answer 10

90,270,272

Answer 11
