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

A log raft is moving downstream at a speed of 3 km/h. To insure that there are no river jams a supervisor travels along the raft
skad [1K]

Answer:

2000 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

When the motorboat is moving downstream, its speed relative to the ground is 18 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is 15 km/h.

When the motorboat is moving upstream, its speed relative to the ground is 12 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is again 15 km/h.

Converted to m/min, the relative speed is:

15 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 60 min) = 250 m/min

It takes the motorboat 16 minutes to travel to the front of the raft and back.  Since the speed is the same in both directions, the motorboat takes 8 minutes to travel the length of the raft.

So the length of the raft is 250×8 = 2000 meters.

How many years will it take for the account to reach $18,600? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
Margarita [4]
 <span>it depends how the interest is calculated, but there's not much of a difference 

assuming its continuously compouned, you use this formula: A(t)=Pe^(rt), where A is the final amount, P is the initial investment, r is the interest, and t is the time in years 

you want to find t such that A(t)=18,600 so 18,600=1000e^(.0675t) 

you need to use logarithm to figure it out, take the natural log of both sides 

the following properties will come into use: 

ln(a*b)=ln(a)+ln(b) 
ln(a^b)=bln(a) 
ln(e)=1 

taking the natural log 

ln(18,600)=ln(1000e^(.0675t)) 

ln(18,600)=ln(1000)+ln(e^.0675t) 

ln(18600)=ln(1000) + .0675t 

now solve for t: t= (ln(18600)-ln(1000))/.0675 

t=43.31</span>

John made a triangle with all three sides the same length, 1 \frac{2}{3} ft. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
UNO [17]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If all sides are of the same length, we can multiply the value of one side by 3, because a triangle has three sides (and the perimeter is all sides added together), to find the perimeter.

1\frac{2}{3} × 3

1\frac{2}{3} can be rewritten as \frac{5}{3}, so:

\frac{5}{3} × \frac{3}{1}

= \frac{15}{3}

The numerator & denominator share a common factor of 3, so:

5 ft is the final answer/perimeter.

hope this helps!

geniusboy [140]
The answer is 9 because you solve it from left to right and 3x5 equals 15, 15 subtracted by 6 equals 9
