Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:

first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)

Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have

x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104

We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218

Answer: 
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218

An unfair die is twice as likely to roll an even number than an odd number. what is the probability of it rolling an odd number?
Anarel [89]
The probability is always expressed as a part of the whole. So, it can be in terms of fraction or percentage. The numerator is the number of possible events while the denominator is the number of total events. Let x be the number of times you roll an odd number. So, the number of times you roll an even number would be 2x. The total rolls would then be x + 2x. Thus, the probability of rolling an odd number is

Probability = x/(2x + x) = x/3x = 1/3

Please help this is due in 4 hours
vovikov84 [41]
X=14
Y=14
Perimeter=56
The reason is because if you see 8 and 6 you can see that the lines are equivalent so I just assumed that the missing lines are 8 and 6. So I added the number up causing x and y to be 14 then for perimeter I simply just multiplied 14x4 which is 56.
