Answer:If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.

The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.

The equation you want to set up is

0.5x+7=18

Where, 18-7=11

0.5x=11

11/.5 = x

x = $22

Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.

The answer is 20 because you have to subtract 7 from 17 because you work backwards. Then you are left with 10, which is half of 20. So, her weekly allowance is $20

uysha [10]

Answer:

x = 3.36

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{8} = \frac{.42}{1} , if we have a fraction = fraction then we can cross multiply to have a multiplication problem

x · 1 = 8 · 0.42, multiply

x = 3.36

Find the distance between the points (2,3) (-3,-6)
Valentin [98]

Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (-3,-6) to (2,3), x increases by 5 (this is the horizontal distance between (2,3) and (-3,-6) ) and y decreases by 9 (vertical distance).

We apply the Pythagorean Theorem here:

d^2 = x^2 + y^2, or

d^2 = (5)^2 + (-9)^2 = 25 + 81 = 106

Thus, the distance between (2,3) and (-3,-6) is d = sqrt(106), or approx.

10.3.

\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

<u>Let us assume that:</u>

\sf \longmapsto x =  \sqrt{6 +  \sqrt{6 +  \sqrt{6 + ... \infty } } }

We can also write it as:

\sf \longmapsto x =  \sqrt{6 +  x }

Squaring both sides, we get:

\sf \longmapsto  {x}^{2}  =6 +  x

\sf \longmapsto  {x}^{2} - x - 6  =0

By splitting the middle term:

\sf \longmapsto  {x}^{2} - 3x + 2x - 6  =0

\sf \longmapsto x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3 ) =0

\sf \longmapsto (x+ 2)(x - 3 ) =0

<u>Therefore:</u>

\longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf (x+ 2) =0 \\ \sf (x - 3) = 0 \end{cases}

\sf \longmapsto x =  - 2,3

<u>But x cannot be negative. </u>

\sf \longmapsto x = 3

Therefore, the value of the expression is 3.

\large\underline{\sf{Verification-}}

Given:

\sf\longmapsto x=3

We can also write it as:

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{9}

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6+3}

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{9}}

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+3}}

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{9}}}

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+3}}}

This pattern will continue.

\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+...\infty}}}
