step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

114,240

is the anwser to this question

to find perimiter, add all the sides.

60 5/6 + 54 1/3 + 59 1/3 + 56 1/6.

goup like terms:

(60 5/6 + 56 1/6) + ( 54 1/3 + 59 1/3) = 117 + 113 2/3

56 + 60 =   116. 5/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1/ 116 + 1 = 117

54 + 59 = 13. 1/3 + 1/3 =2/3. 13 + /3 = 113 2/3    

117 + 113 2/3 = 230 2/3

answer: 230 2/3
