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>

The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking.assume
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

d = 3  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt where d is the distance t is the time and r is the constant of proportionality

d = 18t

Changing 10 minutes to hours

10 minutes * 1 hours / 60 minute = 1/6 hour

d = 18 * 1/6 hour

d = 3  meters
