Answer:
y = -1 ?
Step-by-step explanation:
y+10= 18/2
y+10=9
y=9-10
y=-1
Answer:
<em>$195</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
15a + 12c
5 adults and 10 children means a = 5 and c = 10
15a + 12c = 15(5) + 12(10) = 75 + 120 = 195
Mary, Anne, and Rose decided to race their three pet snails, Anthony, James, and Thomas to see which was fastest. Anthony finished in 23.38 minutes. James finished in 23.65 minutes. Thomas finished in 23.13 minutes. Order the finish times from least amount of time to greatest to see which snail was the winner of this very intense and serious race.
23.12, 23.38, 23.65
Answer:
3/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Let x = the width
:
It says,"The length of a rectangle is 4 less than 3 times the width." write that as:
L = 3x - 4
:
If the perimeter is 40, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
:
We know: 2L + 2W = 40
:
Substitute (3x-4) for L and x for W
2(3x-4) + 2x = 40
:
6x - 8 + 2x = 40; Multiplied what's inside the brackets
:
6x + 2x = 40 + 8; do some basic algebra to find x; (added 8 to both sides)
:
8x = 48
:
x = 48/8
:
x = 6 which is the width
:
It said that L = 3x - 4, therefore:
L = 3(6) - 4
L = 18 - 4
L = 14; is the length
:
Check our solutions in the perimeter:
2(14) + 2(6) =
28 + 12 = 40</span>
