We'll start by calling the number of pigeons we started with x, because it's the unknown.

After she clapped 1/3 flew away so she was left with

(1 - 1/3) x = (2/3) x

Two flew back, so now there are

(2/3) x + 2

She clapped again and half left, half stayed, so now

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )

One came back and there were five,

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 ) + 1 = 5

Solving is unraveling.

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )  = 4

(2/3) x + 2   = 8

(2/3) x  = 6

x = (3/2) 6 = 9

Answer: 9 pigeons

Check: Reviewing the story,  9 -> 6 -> 8 -> 4 -> 5 good

Evaluate.<br> 3^2 + 12 ÷ (6 - 3) x 8
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

38 is your answer :)

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you want to do is P.E.M.D.A.S (parenthesis, exponets, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction) * whatever comes first always do it in order*

3^2+12/ (6-3) x 8

6-3 = 3

3^2+12/(3)*8

3^2+4*8

6+4*8 =32 and 32+6 = 38

Suppose c was a total membership cost for m the two equations that model c are c=30m+50 an c=20m+100
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c = 30m + 50

c = 20m + 100

Required [Missing from the question]

At what month will the cost be equal

To do this, we equate both expressions

c = c

This gives:

30m + 50 = 20m + 100

Collect like terms

30m - 20m = 100 - 50

10m = 50\\

Solve for m

m = \frac{50}{10}

m = 5
