Let x be the amount of apples that Kevin bought.

It says that john buys three more than twice the amount of apples that kevin buys, so 3 + 2x apples.

They bought 21 apples total, so x + 3 + 2x=21

Collecting like terms gives 3x+3=21

Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 3x=18 and then dividing both sides by 3 gives x=6

x is the amount of apples kevin bought, so kevin bought 6 apples

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

91.8 ft above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 1 meter is approx. 3.28 feet.

Converting 28 meters to feet is accomplished by multiplying 28 m by the conversion factor 3.28 ft  /  1 m:

28 m     3.28 ft

-------- * ----------- = 91.8 ft above sea level

  1           1 m

Strontium-90 has a half-life of 28.8 years. If you start with a 300-gram sample of strontium-90,
Kazeer [188]

Answer:  2.66 × 10⁻¹³

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, use the decay formula   A=A_oe^{kt}   where

  • A is the final amount (amount left)
  • A₀ is the initial amount (amount you started with)
  • k is the rate of decay (you need to solve for this)
  • t is the time

Given:

  • A = 1/2(300) = 150
  • A₀ = 300
  • k = unknown
  • t = 28.8

150=300e^{28.8k}\\\\0.5=e^{28.8k}\\\\ln(0.5)=ln(e^{28.8k})\\\\ln(0.5)=28.8k\\\\\\\dfrac{ln(0.5)}{28.8}=k\\\\\\\large\boxed{-0.0240676=k}\\

Next, input the k-value and the new t-value to solve for A.

  • A = unknown
  • A₀ = 300
  • k = -0.0240676
  • t = 1440

A=300e^{1440(-.0240676)}\\\\\large\boxed{A=2.66\times 10^{-13}}\\

In football seasons, a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The difference between the games won and lost = 21 - 6 =15

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question In a football season a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

A particular season a team played 34 games and lost 6 games . Finding the difference between game won and game lost simply means we have to know the number of game lost and game won.

The team played a total of 34 games.

Total games played = 34

Out of the 34 games played they lost 6 games. That means the remaining games is either win or draw. Therefore,

34 - 6 = 28 games was won or draw

Let

the number of games won = x

the number of game drew = y

3x + y = 70.............(i)

x  + y = 28................(ii)

x = 28 - y

insert the value of x in equation(i)

3(28 - y) + y = 70

84 - 3y + y = 70

84 - 70 = 3y -y

14 = 2y

divide both sides by 2

y = 14/2

y = 7

insert the value of y in equation(ii)

x + y = 28

x = 28 - 7

x = 21

The team won 21 games , drew 7 games and lost 6 games.

The difference between the games won and lost = 21 - 6 =15
