The expression x + 7 will determine how many cats Staci has.
Since Staci has 7 <u>more</u> cats than Taylor (x), we know the expression uses addition.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let x be the odd integer. Let y be the sum.
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = y
3x + 3 = y
Adding two consecutive integers to an odd integer will result in an even integer.
So, you can eliminate choices B and D since they are odd.
Lastly, plug in choices A and C for y and choose the answer that makes x an integer.
Choice C would give you the correct result.
3x + 3 = 44562
3x = 44559
x = 14853
Answer:
7 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn yards into inches (2 yards = 72 inches)
Divide: 72÷9

The given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram since the opposite sides are of same length AB and DC is 4 and AD and BC is 2.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
ABCD is a quadrilateral with their opposite sides are congruent (equal).
The both pairs of opposite sides are given as AB = 3 + x
, DC = 4x
, AD = y + 1
, BC = 2y.
- AB and DC are opposite sides and have same measure of length.
- AD and BC are opposite sides and have same measure of length.
<u>To find the length of AB and DC :</u>
AB = DC
3 + x = 4x
Keep x terms on one side and constant on other side.
3 = 4x - x
3 = 3x
x = 1
Substiute x=1 in AB and DC,
AB = 3+1 = 4
DC = 4(1) = 4
<u>To find the length of AD and BC :</u>
AD = BC
y + 1 = 2y
Keep y terms on one side and constant on other side.
2y-y = 1
y = 1
Substiute y=1 in AD and BC,
AD = 1+1 = 2
BC = 2(1) = 2
Therefore, the opposite sides are of same length AB and DC is 4 and AD and BC is 2. The given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
