I have a word problem with a pattern. I just can't figure it out. - On the first night, Kim's mom gave her a nickel, on the seco

nd, she gave her five nickels, on the third, she gave her fourteen nickels and on the fourth night she gave her thirty nickels. Her mother asked Kim to figure out what she would receive on the tenth night. - I know this must be easy, but I just don't see it.

1st night Nickel - 5 pennies
2nd night 5 nickels - 25 pennies
3rd night 14 nickels - 70 pennies
4th night 30 nickels - 150 pennies
5th night 46 nickels
6th night 78 nickels
7th night 126 nickels
8th night 206 nickels
9th night 334 nickels
10th night 542 nickels

So her mother would give Kim 542 nickels on the 10th night.

Differences between number of nickels: 4, 9, 16

9 - 4 = 5
16 - 9 = 7

The pattern is Kim's mom gives her child two more nickels plus the amount of nickels she got the day before.

This was a little tricky so I don't know if this is right but I hope this helps you!

available is 111.5cm tall and Olivia is 88.5cm

177÷2=88.5

so Olivia is 88.5cm tall

the height Available= the height of Olivia+ 23cm

Which of the following are properties of a perfect square trinomial? Select all that apply.. A.Neither of the perfect squares ca
aliya0001 [1]
Definition 1: Perfect squares are numbers or expressions that are the product of a number or expression multiplied to itself (7 times 7 is 49, so 49 is a perfect square).

Definition 2: <span>Binomials are algrebraic expressions containing only two terms.</span><span />
<span>
</span><span>Definition 3: Trinomials are algebraic expressions that contain three terms. </span><span />

Perfect square trinomials are algebraic expressions with three terms that are created by multiplying a binomial to itself. There are two formulas for perfect square trinomials:
(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2, \\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2.
From these formulas you can see that:
A. <span>"Neither of the perfect squares can have a minus sign" is true statement;
</span>
B. "<span>The first and third terms must be perfect squares" is true statement;
</span>
C. "<span>If the perfect square terms are a^2 and b^2 then the other term must be (ab)^2" is false statement;
</span>
D. "<span>None of the above is a property of a perfect square trinomial" is consequently false statement.
</span>

What is the solution of 15=-4+z/3
lana [24]
15=-4+z/3

+4 +15 = +4 -4 +z/3
cancels the 4 on the right side

19 = z/3

3 x 19 = z/3 x 3
cancels 3 on the right side

I think the answer is z = 57
