Ok, l = lewa's backpack and a= alai's. :)
1/2a -5 = l.
so to solve,
1/2 (36) - 5 = l.
18 - 5 = l.
13 = l.
so Lewa's backpack weighs 13 pounds. Hope it helps!
Solve for x:5 x + 3 (x + 4) = -20
3 (x + 4) = 3 x + 12:3 x + 12 + 5 x = -20
Grouping like terms, 5 x + 3 x + 12 = (5 x + 3 x) + 12:(5 x + 3 x) + 12 = -20
5 x + 3 x = 8 x:8 x + 12 = -20
Subtract 12 from both sides:8 x + (12 - 12) = -12 - 20
12 - 12 = 0:8 x = -20 - 12
-20 - 12 = -32:8 x = -32
Divide both sides of 8 x = -32 by 8:(8 x)/8 = (-32)/8
8/8 = 1:x = (-32)/8
The gcd of -32 and 8 is 8, so (-32)/8 = (8 (-4))/(8×1) = 8/8×-4 = -4:Answer: x = -4
Both of the digits in the hundreds and tens place are 4, making it a relationship. The 4 in the hundreds place is worth 400, the 4 in the tens place is worth 40, and the 0 in the ones place is worth 0.
Hope this helped!

Answer:
I am pretty sure it is 22m
Step-by-step explanation:
minus 2
The answer is $654.06.
5.5% of $575 is $31.63. 575 x 0.055 = 31.63
This means that in one year he earns $31.63. In two years it will be $63.25 (31.63 x 2 = 63.25)
Then in half a year it will be $15.81 (31.63/2 = 15.81)
Finally add 15.81 and 63.25 to get $79.06 which you then add to the initial $575 to get the total amount earned in 2 1/2 years which is $654.06.
