Let the number of knife be x.
Knife = x
Spoon = 2x
forks = 2x

Total = 30
x + 2x + 2x = 30
5x = 30 
x = 6

Knife = x = 6
forks = 2x = 12
Spoon = 2x = 12

Answer: There are 12 forks.

S = f   (where s = number of  spoons and f = number forks)
s = 2k ( k = number of knives)
s + f + k = 30
2s + k = 30 ( because  s = f)
4k + k = 30
k = 6 
Number of forks (f) =  twice number of  knives = 2*6 = 12 Answer

17) replace the given number for "x" and evaluate

a) x² + 2x + 1   ; when x = 3

  3² + 2(3) + 1

= 9 + 6 + 1

= 16

b) x² + 2x + 1   ; when x = -4

  (-4)² + 2(-4) + 1

= 16 - 8 + 1

= 9

c) x² + 2x + 1   ; when x = 3

  (-22.872)² + 2(-22.872) + 1

= 523.128384 - 45.744 + 1

= 478.384384

18) The dependent variable is affected by the other variable and is the "output"   The independent variable is the input.

a) y = 3x - 5;    "x" is the independent variable

b) the time of day is the independent variable  (you would input the time of day to calculate the temperature).

19) Let the x-axis represent the length of the lumber cut off and the y-axis represent the length of the lumber remaining.
