Answer:

a=2(s-5)

a(your age): 20

Step-by-step explanation:

a stands for your age

s stands for sister

a=2(s-5)

1-substitute 15 for s a=2(15-5)

2- a=2(10)

the 15-5 stands for sisters age minus five which gives you brothers age, 10. You multiply it by two because your brother is half your age.

3-a=20

check your work:

because your brother is 10 and you are 20, he is half your age (10/20 can be simplified to 1/2)

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions please lmk!

Clara is building a triangular garden. She wants the length of the longest side to be three more than twice as long as the lengt
nlexa [21]

The simplified expression would be 3s + 15.

In order to find this we need to write an equation for the longest side. Since it's 3 more than twice as much as the smallest side (s), we can express it as 2s + 3. Now we simply add all 3 together and simplify.

2s + 3 + 12 + s -----> simplify

3s + 15

3.) Susie picks strawberries on her uncle's farm. He pay's her $0.30 per container for the first 50
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

77.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For 0.30 for the first 50, just subtract 50 from 175, that leaves 125.

(An easy way to do this is think of quarters, 25+25=50 and 50+25=75 so all you have to do is subtract two 25s and you know it's 125)

Put the 125 to the side, and multiply 50 to 0.30, you get 15.

Then for 0.50 over 50 containers, multiply the remaining 125 with 0.50, you get 62.5.

Add 62.5 and 15 together, that gives you 77.5

Pls help me with this
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

the third one!

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it says, the SUM of the number, x (or z I can't really see it well) and 1/2, you must add those two together:

1/2 + x

Then it says those two numbers equal to 4, so it would look like this:

1/2 + x = 4

Because you are trying to isolate, and solve for x, you must SUBTRACT 1/2 from both sides of the equal sign:

1/2  +  x  =  4

-1/2            -1/2

1/2 minus 1/2 would result 0, so there would be x by itself. and 4 minus 1/2 would be 3 and a half ( 3  1/2), so x would be  3  1/2

x = 3 1/2

Hope this helped. If this is incorrect please specify so I can help :)

H =x , P = 7 and B = 10

using pythagoras theorem

H = 12.20

2.

H =21 , P = x and B = 19

using pythagoras theorem

P = 8.94

3.
