Multiply 1.50 by x ( number of books read and add it to the 20:

Equation: y = 20 + 1.50x

Replace y with the amount she raised and solve for x:

59 = 20 + 1.50x

Subtract 20 from both sides:

39 = 1.50x

Divide both sides by 1.50:

x = 39 /1.50 = 26 books were read.

Is an imaginary "line" from the Earth to the Moon a line, a ray, or a segment? and WHY?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Segment

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a segment because it has two endpoints (the Earth and Moon). If it was a ray, it would go on forever in one direction. It doesn't, so the imaginary line is a segment.  

The first image is a segment, the second is a ray.

Hope this helps. :)
