Assuming Nicole = x, Nancy = y

x + y = 18 \\ y = x + 3

Substitute that into
x + x + 3 = 18 \\ 2x = 15 \\ x = 7.5

Answer : Nicole read 7.5 books.

Hope this helps. - M

Let the number of books that Nicole read be x.
⇒ Nicole = x

Nancy read 3 more than Nicole
⇒ Nancy = x + 3             

They read a total of 18 books.
⇒ x + ( x+ 3) = 18

<u>Solve for x:</u>
x + ( x + 3) = 18

Remove bracket:
x + x + 3 = 18

Combine like terms:
2x + 3 = 18

Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x = 15

Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7.5

<u>Find the number of books each read:</u>
Nicole = x = 7.5 books
Nancy = x + 3 = 7.5 + 3 = 10.5 books

Answer: Nicole read 7.5 books.

Problem 23
A = 40
B = 3x+1
C = 3x+1
B and C are congruent, so they have the same angle measure

The three angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
40+(3x+1)+(3x+1) = 180
6x+42 = 180
6x = 180-42
6x = 138
x = 138/6
x = 23

Answer: B) 23

============================================================

Problem 24

AB is the midsegment parallel to XY
So AB is half that of XY
AB = (1/2)*XY
AB = (1/2)*28
AB = 14

Answer: B) 14

============================================================

Problem 25

Note the ratio of the given rectangle's sides: 7/12 = 0.583 roughly

Divide the answer choices in a similar fashion
A) 5/7 = 0.714
B) 14/36 = 0.389
C) 21/36 = 0.583
D) 21/48 = 0.4375

We get the same result in choice C as we did in the original rectangle

Answer: C) 21 ft x 36 ft

Ksju [112]

Answer:

P = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 21 total cards and out of those 21 cards, 14 of those are birthday cards. So that means that the amount of cards that are not birthday cards is the number of cards subtracted by the number of birthday cards, also shown as 21 - 14. So 21 - 14 = P, so now we solve what 21 - 14 is which is 7, so that means P = 7.

Let me know if you have any questions.
