Answer:
322.24 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale is 4 meter per centimeter. Multiply 5.3 by 4 to get 21.2 meters. Multiply 5.3 by 4 to get 15.2 meters. Multiply 21.2 by 15.2 to get 322.24
P = s + (s + 5) + (s + 5) This represents the two sides that are 5 inches longer than the base (s + 5) and the base (s).
Simplifying.
100 = 3s + 10
subtract 10 from both sides
90 = 3s
divide both sides by 3
30 = s
base = 30
sides = 35
CHECK 30 + 35 + 35 = 100
"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
1 kilo is approximately 2.2 pounds, so we can divide 30 by 2.2
Answer:
2x-3y=2
x=6y-5
2(6y-5)-3y=2
use the distributive property.
2*6y=12y
2*-5=-10
12y-10-3y=2
combine like terms
12y-3y=9y
9y-10=2
add 10 to both sides.
9y-10+10=9y
2+10=12
9y=12
divide both sides by 9
9y/9=y
y=about 1.33
plug in the value of y in the expression equal to the value of x.
x=6(1.33)-5
solve
6*1.33=7.98
x=7.98-5
7.98-5=2.98
Step-by-step explanation:
x=2.98
y=1.33
