Answer:

<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The patch grows to double its size everyday

the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days

Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.

Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

Evaluate the following expressions if a = 2, b = 3, x = 4, and y = 5.<br> b^2+3(2x-y)
butalik [34]

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h2 /><h2>Answer: 18</h2><h2>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</h2><h2 />

First we need to substitute the value of the variable into the expression.

b^{2}+3(2x-y) = 3^{2} + 3 (2(4)-5) .

Now we need to solve 3^{2} + 3 (2(4)-5).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3^{2} + 3 (2(4)-5)

First, calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.

9+3(2\times 4-5)=18

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

9+3(8-5) =18  

Subtract 5 from 8 to get 3.    

9+3\times 3 =18  

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

9+9 =18.

<h2>And the answer is, you guessed it, 18!</h2>
