Answer: Sally has 16 friends
Step-by-step explanation:
she has 40 balls
subtract by how many she gave away
40-8=32
she gave 2 to each friend
divide the balls left by 2
32/2=16
Sally has 16 friends
Take half of the coefficient of x: It is 3, and half that is 3/2.
Then <span>x^2+3x=6 becomes:
</span><span> x^2+3x + (3/2)^2 =6 + (3/2)^2, and
(x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4
You were not asked to solve the equation, but why not do it for the practice?
</span>Solve (x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4 for x. There will be 2 values.
Assuming John does not get premium pay for hours over 40, his pay will be ...
... 43 hours × $9.00 = $387
... - 6.2% × $387 = $23.99
... - 1.45% × $387 = $5.61
... - $15.00
... - 5% × $387 = $19.35
... - 10% × ($387 -19.35) = $36.77
... = $286.28 . . . . net pay after all the deductions
John walks 0.6 miles in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance walked by John = 3 miles
Time period = 5 hours
5 hours = 3 miles
Unit rate is the ratio of two measurements, in which one measurement is one, therefore,
1 hour = 
John walks 0.6 miles in 1 hour.

The area <em>A</em> of a trapezoid with height <em>h</em> and bases <em>b</em>₁ and <em>b</em>₂ is equal to the average of the bases times the height:
<em>A</em> = (<em>b</em>₁ + <em>b</em>₂) <em>h</em> / 2
We're given <em>A</em> = 864, <em>h</em> = 24, and one of the bases has length 30, so
864 = (<em>b</em>₁ + 30) 24 / 2
864 = (<em>b</em>₁ + 30) 12
864 = (<em>b</em>₁ + 30) 12
72 = <em>b</em>₁ + 30
<em>b</em>₁ = 42
