Find the relationship between the number of shapes and the perimeter of the figure they form Write an equation to represent this relationship?

p = 3n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the number of shapes and p the perimeter

We can construct the following table

n : 1    2    3

p : 5   8    11

The differences in p are constant

8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 3

Thus p = 3n + ?

n = 1 → 3(1) + ? = 5 ⇒ 3 + ? = 5 ⇒ ? = 2

n = 2 → 3(2) + ? = 8 ⇒ 6 + ? = 8 ⇒ ? = 2

n = 3 → 3(3) + ? = 11 ⇒ 9 + ? = 11 ⇒ ? = 2

We require to add 2 to 3n

Thus

p = 3n + 2

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
