85- (3.5*12)
* means times
I think this is correct.
Answer:
10.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
By similar triangles:
IJ / 21 = 8 /(8+8) = 1/2
IJ / 21 = 1/2
IJ = 1/2 * 21
= 10.5.
Answer:
the person above is right it's 4.5 units
give them the crown
X + 2x + 5 = 62 which can be turned into.
3x + 5 = 62
-5 -5 now we subtract 5 from each side
3x = 57
/3 /3 now we divide 3 from each side to get...
x = 19.
Now to check 19 + (2 x 19) + 5 does in fact equal 62. Jenny is 19 years old. Hope this helped.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.
