Jerry is planting white daisies and red tulips in his garden and he wants to choose a pattern in which the tulips surround the d

aisies. He uses tiles to generate patterns starting with two rows of three daisies. He surrounds these daisies with a border of tulips. The design continues as shown. Jerry writes the expression 8(b − 1) + 10 for the number of tulips in each border, wherein b is the border number and b ≥ 1. Complete the explanation to explain why Jerry's expression is correct.

The borders are shown in the picture attached.

As you can see, starting with border 1, we have 6 daises (white squares) surrounded by 10 tulips (colored squares). Through Jerry's expression we expected:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(1 − 1) + 10 =
0 + 10 =
10 tulips.

When considering border 2, we expect: 
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(2 − 1) + 10 =
8 + 10 =
<span>18 tulips.
Indeed, we have the 10 tulips from border 1 and 8 additional tulips, for a total of 18 tulips.

Then, consider border 3, we expect:
</span><span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(3 − 1) + 10 =
16 + 10 =
26<span> tulips.
Again, this is correct: we have the 10 tulips used in border 1 plus other 16 tulips, for a total of 26.

Therefore, Jerry's expression is correct.</span>

Priscilla received 240 votes in the election for student council president. That was 60% of the students who voted in the electi
stira [4]

Answer:

400 students voted in the election

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of votes received by Priscilla = 240

This was 60% of the students who voted in the election.

To find: Total number of students who voted in the election

Solution:

Total number of votes received by Priscilla = 60% of Total number of students who voted in the election

240 = 60% of Total number of students who voted in the election

240 = \frac{60}{100} × Total number of students who voted in the election

So,

Total number of students who voted in the election =\frac{240(100)}{60}=400

Artemon [7]

45 - 45 + 2x = 175 -45

2x = 130

2x/2  = 130/2

x = 65
