<span>Z=15+2(x+y)
Use distributive property
Z= 15 + 2x + 2y
Subtract 2y from both sides
Z - 2y= 15 + 2x
Subtract 15 from both sides
Z - 2y - 15= 2x
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: Z - 2y - 15(All over 2)= x</span>
To find the rate, you must divide the distance traveled by the time it took.
17.5 m is the distance while time it took was 5 seconds.
So,
17.5 ÷ 5 = 3.5 m/s
The rate of the anchor is 3.5 m/s
Note: I did not ignore the negative sign in the distance but rather acknowledged it as a magnitude. This meant that the anchor was dropping down instead of going up.
Answer:
the volume of sand is 
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, rectangular prism.
Given data

if the sandbox is filled with sand of
deep the volume of the sand in the box will be calculated based on the the depth of the sand
converting the depth of sand from mixed fraction to proper fraction we have 
the expression for the volume of a rectangular prism is

substituting our data into the expression we have

The total amount of degrees in a triangle is 180. All three angles should add up to 180˚
We know that 40+60 = 100
The next step is to do 180-100 to get the other angle.
180-100 = 80
So the measure of the third angle is 80˚
Hope this helps!
(Also if you want to do this in one equation, you would do 40+60+x = 180
40+60+x = 180
100+x = 180 (combine like terms)
x = 80 (Subtract 100 from both sides)
