Let

x--------> amount of erasers that Sari has

y--------> amount of erasers that Sam has


we know that


x=3y-------> equation 1

x+y=28-----> equation 2


Substitute equation 1 in equation 2

[3y]+y=28\\ 4y=28\\ y=28/4\\ y=7


find the value of x

x=3y\\ x=3*7\\ x=21


therefore


the answer is

Sari has 21 erasers

the size of the second application is 3.45 MB less than he first application. What is the size of the second application
mr_godi [17]

The size of the second application given the size of the first application and the expression ( x - 3.45 mb) for the size of the second application is 293.55 MB.

<h3>Equation</h3>

Let

  • Size of the first application = x

  • Size of the second application= x - 3.45 mb

For instance,

if the size of the first application is 297 MB

Size of the second application= x - 3.45 mb

= 297 MB - 3.45 MB

= 293.55 MB

Therefore, the size of the second application given the size of the first application and the expression for the size of the second application is 293.55 MB

The perimeter of a triangle is 199 inches. If one side of the triangle is six more than the shorter side, and the longer side is
Keith_Richards [23]
Shortest side (a) = 58
middle side (b) = 64
longest side (c) = 77

the 3 sides a + b + c = 199
b = a + 6
c = a + 19

substitute your new values for b & c into your original formula, so:
a + (a+6) + (a+19) = 199
3a + 25 = 199
3a = 174
a = 58

then substitute 58 into your b & c formulas to figure out the rest
b = a + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
c = a + 19 = 58 + 19 = 77

The area of the rectangle as a single expression
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: A=15x^2+6x-48

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with this formula:

A=l*w

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

You can identify from the figure that the length and the width of this rectangle are:

length=3(x+2)\\width=5x-8

Then, you need to substitute this lenght and this width into A=l*w:

A=3(x+2)(5x-8)

Now, apply Distributive property:

A=(3x+6)(5x-8)\\\\A=15x^2-24x+30x-48

Finally, you need to add the like terms. Then, you get:

A=15x^2+6x-48
