Answer:

2x+59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>J </em>represent Jessica's weight and <em>R</em> represent Ronda's weight.

Jessica weighs <em>x+34</em> pounds. Thus:

J=x+34

Ronda weighs 12 pounds less than Jessica. In other words:

R=J-12=(x+34)-12\\R=x+22

The sum of their weights, therefore, is:

J+R\\=(x+34)+(x+22)=2x+56

Now, if Jessica gains 5 pounds and Ronda loses 2 pounds, the net gain of the total weight would be 3 pounds. Thus, we only need to add 3 to the original total to find the sum of their new weights:

2x+56+3=2x+59

The sum of the new [weights] is represented by 2x+59.

Emilio asked his aunt for $20 to buy supplies for his lemonade stand. Once his stand opened he made $40 a day

The equation that represents profit is $40x - $20.

The profit after 5 days in business is $180.

The profit after 10 days in business is $380.

The profit after 10 days in business if revenue is $45 is $430.

<h3>What is profit? </h3>

Profit is total revenue less total cost.

Profit = total revenue - total cost

Profit = $40x - $20

Where:

x = number of days

<h3>What is the total profit after 5 days and 10 days? </h3>

$40(5) - $20

= $200 - $20

= $180

$40(10) - $20

$400 - $20

$380

<h3>What is total profit if revenue is $45? </h3>

$45(10) - $20

= $450 - $20

= $430

A diagonal of a square is 36 feet long. What is the area of the square?
Rzqust [24]
So you can you the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.

if each side of the square is a certain length x, then the square is made up of two right triangles.

the sides adjacent to the right angle are length x while the hypoteneus is the diagonal whcih measures 36 feet.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + x^2 = 36^2

2x^2 = 1296

x^2 = 648

x = 25.456

area of a square = x^2 = 648 ft^2

A=244in2<br> H=<br> B=12.6in<br> (1in=2.54cm)
pshichka [43]
Although there is no picture, I will assume this is a triangle we are talking about since the terms base and height are being used. If that is the case, the height is roughly 38.72in. 

To find this, we will use the area of a triangle formula. 

1/2bh = a ---> plug in known values. 
1/2(12.6)(h) = 244 ---> multiply to simplify
6.3(h) = 244 ----> divide both sides by 6.3
h = 38.73

Find the error in the problem below
qaws [65]

Answer:

You aren't supposed to add 3k

Step-by-step explanation:

3k is a positve number. So instead of adding you have to subtract to be able to move on. Correct way shown below. Once you get this step wrong your answer will also be wrong. At the end you also need to divide

19-2k= 3k-1

  -3k  -3k

19-5k= -1

-19      -19

 -5k= -20

-5/-5= -20/-5

    k=4
