If we call g the number of green peppers and r the number of red peppers, we know that adding r to g will give us 14, or symbolically:

r + g = 14.

We also know that Ron has 8 more red peppers than green peppers - adding 8 to the number of green peppers gets us the number of red peppers, so we can represent that as

r = g + 8

Notice that the question "What number plus 8 equals r?" is really just a subtraction problem in disguise. If we start at g and go <em>up </em>8, we arrive at r, but we could also start at r and go <em>down </em>g to arrive at 8, getting us the equation

r - g = 8

So now we've got this set of equations:

r + g = 14

r - g = 8

If <em>adding </em>g to r gets us 14 and <em>subtracting </em>g from r gets us 8, our number must be right in the middle of 14 and 8 - exactly the number 11. So

r = 11

And since r and g have to add up to 14, this forces g to be 3 since 11 + 3 = 14

We therefore have 11 red peppers and 3 green peppers.

Hello!

Let's put this as a system of equations.

r= 8+g

r+g=14

Let's plug our r value into the second equation and solve for g.

8+g+g=14

8+2g=14

Now we subtract 8 from both sides.

2g=6

We divide both sides by 2.

g=3

Therefore, he has 3 green peppers.

I hope this helps!

You invest $2,500 in an account that grows 5% each year. what will be your investment amount after 6 years?
lesantik [10]

Answer:  b. $3,374.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation of growth (continuously) is given by :-

y=Ae^{rx}, where A is the initial amount, r is the rate of growth ( in decimal) and x is the time period.

Given : You invest $2,500 in an account that grows 5% each year.

i.e.  A= $2,500  and r= 5%=0.05

Then, the equation model this situation will be :-

y=2500e^{0.05x}=2500(1.05)^x

Now, At x= 6

y=2500e^{0.05\times6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2500e^{0.3}=3374.64701894\approx3374.65

Hence, the investment amount after 6 years will be $3,374.65.

6) If the perimeter of the equilateral triangle ABC is x inches. The mid points of the sides are joined to form the smaller tria
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

96 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.

So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

What is the value of x in the solution to this system of equations?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

5x+2y=67 ...1

x=3y−7 ....2

Substitute 2 into 1

5(3y-7)+2y = 67

15y - 35 + 2y = 67

17y = 67+35

17y = 102

y = 102/17

y =6

Recall that x = 3y - 7

x = 3(6) - 7

x = 18 - 7

x = 11

Hence the value of x is 11
