We can start by writing all that we know about the problem. Let us write down how many scones each boy has:
R_{o} : x
C_{a} : x+k
L_{o} : x+2k
T_{o} : x+3k
C_{h} : x+4k
Note that k is the increase, we know it's a constant. This is not a system of equations, please keep that in mind. We will use rest of the information given to build the system. We have two variables x (the number of cookies the first boy bought) and k( the increase), that means we need to have two equations to solve this problem. 
We know that total amount of scones is 60, so we can use that information to build our first equation. We sum all of the scones and we get 60. 
R_{o}+C_{a}+L_{o}+T_{o}+C_{h}=60
5x+10k=60
We know that Robbie and Cameron combined have 3/7 of <span>Louis, Tom and Charlie combined. We can use this information to build our second equation.
</span>R_o+C_a= \frac{3}{7} (L_o+T_o+C_h)
2x+k= \frac{3}{7} (x+2k+x+3k+x+4k)
2x+k= \frac{3}{7} (3x+9k)
14x+7k=9x+27k
5x=20k
x=4k
Now this piece of information alows us to solve the first equation that we made and this will solve our problem. We simply plug in x=4k into 5x+10k=60.
5(4k)+10k=60
30k=60
k=2
Now we can plug this information into the same equation 5x+10k=60 and get x.
5x+10(2)=60
5x=40
x=8
And that's it. Now we can write out how many cookies each boy has bought.
R_{o} : x=8
C_{a} : x+k=10
L_{o} : x+2k=12
T_{o} : x+3k=14
C_{h} : x+4k=16
If you add them all up you get 60.

To become a member at a local nature preserve, applicants must pay an initiation fee of $100 plus their yearly membership dues ,
Natalija [7]

The points are (2,150), (4,200).

The slope of the line joining the points is,

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{200-150}{4-2} \\ =25 \end{gathered}

Thus, the slope represents the increse in cost per year of membership.

Find the surface area of this triangular prism. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

390ft^2\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we have 2 (congruent) triangles and 3 rectangles.

Your main approach to this problem should be to find the area of each of the faces and adding them up to get to your final answer. Your question makes a point of including the correct unit in your answer. Since this is surface area, the unit would be ft^2

Now let's start:

First, I am going to start with finding the area of the rectangles.

12\cdot11=132\\13\cdot11=143\\5\cdot11=55\\\\55+143+132=330

Alright, next lets move on to the triangles.

They are both the same, if you notice. So find one and double it.

12\cdot5=60\\\frac{60}{2}=30\\30\cdot2=60

now lets add em all

330+60

= 390 and thats your final answer, dont forget to include the unit, ft^2
