Answer:
f
Step-by-step explanation:
because 24 inches is 2 feet and 2 yards is is 6 feet
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I'm assuming AB=4=4x-2 was a typo and it's supposed to be AB = 4x - 2
AB=BC
AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3
4x - 2 = 3x + 3
Solve for x Add 2 to each side
4x - 2 = 3x + 3
4x - 2 + 2 = 3x + 3 + 2
4x = 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from each side.
4x - 3x = 3x- 3x + 5
4x - 3x = 5
x = 5
Now plug back in to the original equations
AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3
AB = 4 (5) - 2 BC = 3(5) + 3
AB = 20 - 2 BC = 15 + 3
AB = 18 BC = 18
So AB is 18
After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
