S/g=7/5, s=7g/5

s=g  if  s-30=g+30  using s found above...

7g/5 -30=g+30

(7g-150)/5=g+30

7g-150=5g+150

2g=300

g=150, and since s=7g/5, s=210

So Simon started with 210 pencils and Greg started with 150 pencils.

The air pressure inside Jason’s bike tires decreases by about 6% each week. The original pressure was 45 pounds per square inch
Brrunno [24]
Compound percentage reduction can be calculated by multiplying the initial number by (1-x)^t where x is the percentage reduction (/100, i.e. 1% reduction is 0.01), and t is the number of times it has reduced.

So:
a) p=45(1-0.06)^t=45*0.94^t
Where t is the number of weeks.

We can then just substitute in to work out the final pressure:
b) p = 45*0.94^6 = 31psi

rodikova [14]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation: BECAUSE IN A PARALLELOGRAM OPPPOSITE SIDES ARE EQUAL SO IF THE PERIMETER IS 33.2 WE SHOULD SUBTRACT THAT NUMBER WITH 11.6*2 WHICH IS 23.2 SO 33.2-23.2 WHICH IS 10,SO 10/2 IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARALLELOGRAMWHICH IS NOTHING BUT 5
