Question

Write an expression for the perimeter of the triangle shown below:

A triangle is shown with side lengths labeled 2.3x plus 14, 2x, and negative 0.2x plus 15.

4.1x + 29
4.1x − 29
4.5x + 29
4.5x − 29

Answer 1

@texaschic101 do you mind helping with this?

Answer 2

Do you know where to go from here?

Answer 3

Um not really

Answer 4

Alright in this question they want us to find the perimeter in terms of the side length

Answer 5

We know each of the side lengths as i drew in the diagram above.

Answer 6

Therefore if the Perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of its sides. The equation we would produce is

Answer 7

P = 2.3x+14 + 2x +.2x and then just condense it

Answer 8

oh my bad

Answer 9

20.3

Answer 10

I misread one of the sides

Answer 11

oh

Answer 12

there we go so the equation should be 2.3x+14+2x+.2x+15

Answer 13

P = 2.3x+14+2x+.2x+15 is equivalent to which answer?

Answer 14

C 33.5

Answer 15

am i correct?

Answer 16

where are u getting the 33.5?

Answer 17

sorry 35.3

Answer 18

oh you added 2.3+14+2+.2+15 to get 33.5 but you forgot about the x values

Answer 19

You need to combine only the values that have a x with other values that have a x like this 2.3x + .2x + 2x and then add together 14+15 and you have your answer

Answer 20

so 6.3 + 29

Answer 21

?

Answer 22
