Answer:
She started with 26 boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
She started with x boxes. Then she bought 8 more boxes. Now she had x + 8 boxes. Then half the boxes were destroyed, so she has the other half of the boxes. Half of the boxes is (x + 8)/2. She has now 17 boxes, so (x + 8)/2 = 17.
(x + 8)/2 = 17
Multiply both sides by 2.
x + 8 = 34
Subtract 8 from both sides.
x = 26
She started with 26 boxes.
7^2 +6 ^2= 85
Square root of 85 = 9.219544457
Answer : 9.2
Answer:
hrs/house
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate is the amount of work done per unit of time;
Let Cara's rate = C
Let Jena's rate = J
C + J = 4 ------ i
Now;
Working alone:
Jena takes twice as long as Cara
J = 2C ---- i
How long does it take Cara to clean a house alone
C + J = 4
J = 2C
C + 2C = 4
3C = 4
C = hrs/house
Answer:
3k-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference obiously means subtraction in this situation and you are subtraction 2 from the end result. " The product of 3 and k" is just refering to multiplying an unknown value by 3. This unknown value then becomes a variable and 3 becomes the coefficient. When these numbers are put together, they are suggesting multiplication. It can also be written to be less confusing. (3 x k)-2 which is the same thing as 3k-2.
Divide both side by 2 ad you get x=80
