One side of a triangle is 3 times the second side. The third side is 17 feet longer than the second side. The perimeter of a triangle is 52 feet. Find the length of each side.
Provide your answer below:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets have one side =a

P=3a+a+(17+a)=52

P=5a+17=52

5a=52-17

5a=35

a=7

second side=21

third side=24

58 books

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 35 English books on the shelf and this constitutes 60% of the total number of books on the shelf.

Denoting the total number as x, the total number is:

35 = 60% * x

x = 35 / 60%

= 58 books
