X=packages sold last year
(35-1)/2=X
35-1=34
34/2=17
17 packages were sold last year

Distribute the 3a^n to all the other values then solve...
(3a^n*a^n)+(3a^n*a^n)+(3a^n*-1)
4a^2n+4a^2n-3a^n=
8a^2n-3a^n

Math problem help me

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$y=3x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation, use the slope-intercept formula:

$y=mx+b$

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Now, it'll really help to draw a line through the points, connecting them. If you look at point (0,2), we can see that this is the y-intercept (where a point sits on the y-axis when x=0). You can insert this into the equation by taking the y value:

$(0,2)\\y=mx+2$

Now, take any two points to find the slope. To make it easier, I'll use (1,5) and (0,2). Use the slope formula for when you know two points:

$\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-(x1)} =\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:

$(1(x1),5(y1))\\(0(x2),2(y2))\\\\\frac{2-5}{0-1}$

Solve:

$\frac{2-5}{0-1}=\frac{-3}{-1}$

Since both are negative, the result is a positive:

$\frac{-3}{-1}=\frac{3}{1} =3$

Insert this into the equation as m, the slope:

$y=3x+2$

Done.

Given segment CE and point D that lies on CE, find CD if CE= 11, CD= -16-3x, and ED= -13-2x

Serjik [45]

Answer:Assuming all three, we shall find that each of the relations in 3:14 leads to a ... Then by 3:15 the relations AD//BC and AB||DE imply AD//CE, which excludes ... From 2:72, 3:11, 3:14, and 3:16 we deduce 3:19 If A, B, C are three distinct ... a point D lies between X and Y in AB/C if it belongs to XY/C, that is, if XY||CD

Look at the figure find the value of x for which l || m

Orlov [11]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

19x and its vertical angle are equal. Lets call that angle y

<y and 17x are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles add to 180 if the lines are parallel. Since l is parallel to m.

<y + 17x=180

We know that y and 19x are equal since they are vertical angles, so we can substitute this in.

19x+ 17x = 180

Combine like terms.

36x = 180

Divide each side by 36

36x/36 = 180/36

x = 5
