Q:

Write an expression for the perimeter of the triangle shown below: (4 points)A triangle is shown with side lengths labeled 0.5x plus 9, 3x, and negative 3.4x minus 25.6.9x − 166.9x + 160.1x − 160.1x + 16

Accepted Solution

A:
The correct equation is: 0.1x-16

As to find out the perimeter, you need to add all sides of the triangle together:
(0.5x+9) + 3x + (-3.4-25)
then group the variables together:
(0.5x+3x-3.4) + (9-25)
0.1x  - 16
