5 0

Answer:

one of the girls read 5 books, and the other read 7 books

Step-by-step explanation:

if 6 is the number of half the books that the girls read, the total should be 12, since half of 12 is 6.

each girl has to read a number of books that equal 12 when added together, they do not have to be the same number, but they do have to be two numbers apart.

therefore the solution is 5, and 7, since 5 + 7 = 12 and the numbers are apart by a difference of two.

How do you solve a function
madreJ [45]
You used to say "y = 2x + 3; solve<span> for y when x = –1". Now you say "f(x) = 2x + 3; find f(–1)" (pronounced as "f-of-x is 2x plus three; find f-of-negative-one"). You do exactly the same thing in either case: you plug in –1 for x, multiply by 2, and then add the 3, simplifying to get a final value of +1.

A square is folded into half to form a rectangle. the perimeter of the rectangle is 36cm. calculate the area of a square​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Let the measure of each side of the square be " x " cm.

then ,

area of square = x²

After we folded the square into a rectangle ,

length of rectangle = x

breadth of rectangle = x/2

perimeter of rectangle = 36 cm

x +  \frac{x}{2}  + x +  \frac{x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\    \frac{2x + x + 2x + x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\   \frac{6x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\ 6x = 36 \times 2 \\  \\ 6x = 72 \\  \\ 6x =  \cancel{\frac{72}{6} } = 12cm

hence ,

side of square = 12 cm

therefore ,

area of square = 12 × 12 = 144 cm²
