Let the actor's initial weight be 'x'
He is then gaining 20 pounds. The clue is in the word 'gaining' as it means 'increasing' or in Mathematics can be related as 'plus'
The expression is: x+20
He then loses 15 pounds. The clue is in the word 'losses' as it means 15 pounds is to be subtracted from the last value
Last value is x + 20
The weight now is x + 20 - 15 = x + 5
Answer:
$1.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation where you have the total oranges (o) on top and the cost (c) on the bottom. So you will have two fractions equaling each other. So you will have o/c=o/c. Now you just have to replace the variables with what you know. 9 oranges= $3.60, and you want to know how much 4 oranges cost. Since the cost per orange is the same, no matter how many oranges you buy if you divide the amount of oranges by the price you will always get the same number. So replace the variables with the numbers you know and you get,
9/$3.60=4/c
Now to solve an equal fraction problem, simply cross multiply (multiply the two numbers diagonal so 4 and 3.6), and divide (take the multiplied number and divide by the number remaining which will be the number diagonal from the variable) which gives you $1.60 for four oranges.
The reciprocal is just the fraction flipped over. 7/6 flipped is 6/7.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
you would change it to 5x-4(-3x+5)=-3, because you put the info for the first equation into the second equation.
5x-4(-3x+5)=-3
5x+12x-20=-3
17x-20=-3
17x=17
x=1
In getting the area of and equilateral triangle, you must first consider that all of its sides are congruent and that is 3 inches, so the formula in getting the area is height form its base so in getting its height you must use the pythagorean theorem by dividing the triangle so the hypotenuse of it is 3 and the base of 1.5inches, so the height is 4.77 inches then the area is 7.15 sqr.inch
