Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of books Rachel sold on Monday.

On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday.

i.e. On Tuesday she sold 2m books

On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday.

i.e. On Wednesday she sold 2m-6 books

During the three days Rachel sold 19 books.

i.e. m+2m+2m-6=19

i.e.  5m-6=19

Adding both sides by 6, we get

5m=25

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

m=5

Hence, equation that can be used to find m is:

m+2m+2m-6=19

Let m = the amount books Rachel sold on Monday.
then t = the amount books Rachel sold on Tuesday.<span>
then w = </span><span>the amount books Rachel sold on Wednesday.

On Tuesday she sold twice as she did on Monday.
 t = m * 2

On Wednesday she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday
w = t - 6

Now for the fun.

t = m * 2
w = t - 6

Substitute t for real value

w = m * 2 - 6

Now solve for m.

w - 6 = m * 2 <-- Transpose the 6
(w-6)/2 = m <-- Transpose the 2.
m = (w-2)/2 < The Law of Reflexive Property of Equality</span>

Find the 11th partial sum of the summation of negative 7i plus 22, from i equals 1 to infinity.
Alinara [238K]
The answer is -220 
What you do is take -7 and multiply that by (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) and then after that add 11 again and multiply it by 22. It would look like this. 

-7 x (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) +11 x 22

Simplify that to -7 x 66 +11 x 22

now multiply -7 and 66 to get -462 

-462 +11 x 22 

multiply 11 and 22 

-462 + 242 

and your final answer will be -220

Which results from a cross section made perpendicular to the base of a square pyramid? Check all that apply.
Mamont248 [21]

<span>ú   </span>The square-shaped slice can be made from a slice parallel to the base of a right rectangular prism, cube, and right rectangular pyramid with a square base.  The triangle-shaped slice and isosceles trapezoid-shaped slice can be made with a slice made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid.  A pentagon-shaped slice cannot be made from a slice made parallel or perpendicular to the base of either a right rectangular prism, right rectangular pyramid, or cube.

What is x*x=15? (Basically make an equation that equals up to 15.)
rodikova [14]

Answer:

\displaystyle \sqrt{15} = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Be VERY careful. When it write out the equation that way, it will give the speculation of this:

\displaystyle 15 = x^2

Now, in this case, since you were extra explanatory about this [what is written in parentheses], two factors I know of that multiply to 15 are these:

** \displaystyle 15 = 2 \times 7\frac{1}{2}

I am joyous to assist you at any time. ☺️
