To solve this problem we first call x = number of action figures, y = number of dolles. A system of two equations with two unknowns must be made to describe the problem. The system is the following:
(x + 1) + y = 13
1/2 * x = y.
Then solving the system we have that x = 8 and y = 4.
Since we know that the number of action figures is twice as many dolls plus one, then x = 8 + 1 = 9.
Thus,
dollos = 4
action figures = 9
Answer:
x = 0
x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:
If 5 friends are sharing the berries, how many pounds of berries does each friend receive? Is the answer to 3/4 divided by 2/5 greater than or less than 1.
This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (
) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is 
.
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
4x - 3(x + 5) > 7 - 4(x + 6) |use distributive property; a(b + c) = ab + ac
4x - 3x - 15 > 7 - 4x - 24 |combine items
x - 15 > -4x - 17 |add 15 to both sides
x > -4x - 2 |add 4x to both sides
5x > -2 |divide both sides by 5
x > - 2/5
