Answer:
Sally has been measuring the tree for 4 months
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is as follows;
Sally has been measuring the tree in her yard for a science project. The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and grown a total of 2 inches taller. How many months has Sally been measuring this tree?
.........................................................................................
Solution;
The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and has grown a total of 2 inch taller.
We now need to know the number of months in which the measuring has been taking place.
To know the number of months, we simply need to divide the change in height which is 2 inch by the individual month growth rate which is 1/2 inch
So mathematically, that would be 2/1/2 = 2 * 2 = 4 months

Answer:
(-3, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The blanks are trying to lead you through the process of finding the point of interest.
__
The horizontal distance from T to S is <u> 9 </u>. (or -9, if you prefer)
The ratio you're trying to divide the line into is the ratio that goes in this blank:
Multiply the horizontal distance by <u> 2/3 </u>. (9×2/3 = 6)
Move <u> 6 </u> units <u> left </u> from point T.
The vertical distance from T to S is <u> 6 </u>.
Multiply the vertical distance by <u> 2/3 </u>. (6×2/3 = 4)
Move <u> 4 </u> units <u> up </u> from point T.
__
Point T is (3, -1) so 6 left and 4 up is (3, -1) +(-6, 4) = (3-6, -1+4) = (-3, 3). The point that is 2/3 of the way from T to S is (-3, 3).
Answer:
Denote B(x, y), we have:
-10 + x = 2 x (-16) => x = -22
8 + y = 2 x 6 => y = 4
=> B(-22, 4)
Hope this helps!

Hey there!
To start, first set up your expression like this:
(5x+17)-(3x-4)
You must set up your expression like this since in subtraction, order matters and the problem asks for the difference between the first plant and the second plant, respectively, meaning you must follow in this order.
Now, simplify:
(5x+17)-(3x-4)
(5x+17)+(-3x+4)
2x+21
Therefore, the difference the two companies would be 2x+21.
