Assume the secret number is x.

"Al doubled the number and added 15 to the result. He got 51."

means 2x+15=51 

solving for x:

2x+15=51 

2x=51-15

2x=36

x=18


"Beverly did the same operations with their number, but in the reversed order." means she first added 15 to the number, then she doubled the result, 

that is she performed the operation: 

First: x+15

then: 2(x+15)


since we found x=18, then we have 2(x+15)=2(18+15)=2*33=66


Answer: 66

Beverly got 6.  


51-15=36/2=18           18 being the original thought of #.


18-15=3*2=6

Answer:

3 coefficients in this expression are: -2x, 5y and 9 (natural number)

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x + 5y + 4x + 9

= -6x + 4x + 5y + 9

= -2x + 5y + 9

3 coefficients in this expression are: -2x, 5y and 9 (natural number)

Prove that the figure is a parallelogram. If so, classify the parallelogram. Be specific and justify your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.

Using the diagram  we see from the coordinates of A and B:

Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)

= 6/4

= 3/2.

In the same way

slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)

= 3/2.

So AB and  CD can be shown to be parallel.

Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.

So the figure is a parallelogram

Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):

Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC

By Pythagoras:

AB =   sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52

BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13

So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13

= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13

= 6sqrt13

or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.

Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.

Find the sum of (x + 5) and (2x + 3)
Genrish500 [490]
What you can do is subtract 1x from each side 
Then you subtract 3 from each side
Then it tells you x=2
Always put what you think x is back into the problem and see if it works out

Example on how you do it:
(x+5)=(2x+3)
5=(x+3)
2=x
