Answer: Let x = amount Linda spent.
x=y-$18
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 of 30 = 12
30 + 12 = 42
£42
I think the answer might be x=4/8
The three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Arithmetic progression
Let the 3 number in arithmetic progression be:
a-d, d, a+d ...
If their sum is 3, then;
a-d+d+a+d = 3
2a + d = 3 ........... 1
If the sum of their squares is 11, then;
(a-d)² + d² + (a+d)² = 11
a²-2ad+d²+d²+a²+2ad+d² 11
2a²+3d² = 11 ....... 2
Solving the equations simultaneously, d = 6 and a = 12
First-term = 12
second term = 18
Thirs term = 24
Hence the three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Hope this helps you!!!!!! :D
we are supposed to explain
Which situation could be solved using the equation 
As we can see in the given equation , one number is -4 and the other number is 4
When we add two number of same value but opposite in sign we get zero.
This equivalent to the real life situation of paying a post paid bills.
Suppose you are using a post paid service , and the bills gets generated at the end of the month.
Suppose the bills amount is $x.
Once you pay that bills , then total outstanding again becomes $0.
Because
