Solve this problem on paper using all four steps. A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls sold 5 more boxes the second wee

k than they did the first, and if they doubled the sales of the second week for the third week to sell a total of 431 boxes of cookies, how many did they sell each week?

The first week they sold 104 Boxes.
T<span>hey sold 109 Boxes the Second Week.</span>
Then lastly they sold 218 boxes the third week.
Hope this helps and perhaps brainliest?

This is a problem where you should make an equation.
Let's say x is the first week. It would mean
First Week : x
Second Week : x + 5
Third Week : 2(x+5)
You need to add these up to make your equation. Your equation will look something like this :
x+x+5+2(x+5) = 431
Now you simplify.
2x+5+2x+10 = 431
4x+15 = 431
4x = 416
x = 104
That means they sold 104 Boxes in the First Week.
104+5=109
So they sold 109 Boxes the Second Week.
109 x 2 = 218
And they sold 218 Boxes the Third Week.

I hope I was useful!

HELP ME pleaseeeee ill mark you as brainiest if I get two answers

                                        Question 9

Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y

Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY

so

NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts

XM = MY

given

XM = 3x+1

MY = 8x-24

so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation

XM = MY

3x+1 = 8x-24

8x-3x = 1+24

5x = 25

divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 25/5

x = 5

so the value of x = 5

As the length of the segment XY is:

Length of segment XY = XM + MY

                                = 3x+1 + 8x-24

                                = 11x - 23

substituting x = 5

                               = 11(5) - 23

                               = 55 - 23

                               = 32

Therefore,

The length of the segment = 32 units

                                        Question 10)

Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y

Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY

so

The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M

XM = MY

given

XM = 5x+8

MY = 9x+12

so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation

XM = MY

5x+8 = 9x+12

9x-5x = 8-12

4x = -4

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = -4/4

x = -1

so the value of x = -1

As the length of the segment XY is:

Length of segment XY = XM + MY

                                = 5x+8 + 9x+12

                                = 14x + 20

substituting x = 1

                               = 14(-1) + 20

                               = -14+20

                               = 6

Therefore,

The length of the segment XY = 6 units

A right triangle has legs of lengths 9 cm and 12 cm. calculate the length of the hypotenuse?
just olya [345]
Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.

Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because c= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}. This works, but it is slow.

The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.
