Answer:

Fir trees are 9 meters and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the fir tree = x and the height of the pine tree = y (in meters).

It is given that the combined height of both the trees is 21 meters.

That is, x+y=21

Also, the height of 4 fir trees is 24 meters more than that of the pine tree.

That is, 4x=y+24 i.e. 4x-y=24

So, we get the system of equations,

x+y=21

4x-y=24

Adding both the equations, gives us,

5x = 45 i.e. x=  9.

So, x+y=21 ⇒ y= 21 - x ⇒ y= 21 - 9 ⇒ y= 12.

Thus, the fir trees are 9 meters tall and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

The first two terms of an arithmetic sequences are 7 and 3.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

1.1.1) -61

1.1.2) Term 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Tn= dn (difference) + t0 (term 0)

Tn= -4n+ 11

You can now take this general rule to find out the other terms.

Tn= -4(18)+11

Tn= -61

And the term -157

Tn= -4n+11

-157= -4n + 11

-157 - 11= - 4n

-168= -4n

-168/-4= n

42= n

Enrique and Yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on Halloween. They gave half of their candy to charity. Yolanda took 180 piece
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be C. (He counted Yolanda's candy as his own).

This is found by multiplying 500 (starting number of candy) and .64 (percentage divided by a hundred). Thjs would guve you 320, which you would then subtract from the starting number of candy (500) to get 180. 180 is Yolanda's number of candy, which gives you the answer.

Hezekiel runs 1000 m at a rateof 3 minutes per km. how long does he take to run 500 m​
lana66690 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 km = 1000 m

(hence the term "kilo" which means 1000).

so. he runs 1000 m at the rate of 3 minutes per km, that means 3 minutes per 1000 m.

now, we can see the solution already with our eyes.

but let's do it formally :

the rate or ratio between time and distance must be the same for the same speed.

so,

3 min / 1000 m = x min / 500 m

500 m × 3 min / 1000 m = x min

1/2 × 3 min = x min

3/2 = 1.5 min = x min

so, it takes him 1.5 minutes (90 seconds) to run 500 m.

What are the values of x in the equation 4x2 + 4x - 3 = 0?
9966 [12]

Answer:

x=  0.5

or x=  -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x2+4x−3=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(2x−1)(2x+3)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

2x−1=0 or 2x+3=0

x= 1/2 or x= −3/2
