Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine
Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine
Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5 <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5
Micah = 64 - 5
Micah = 59
Micah is 59 inches tall
Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x.
Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. This will be:
(3 × x) - 2 = (2 × x) + 6
3x - 2 = 2x + 6
Collect like terms.
3x - 2x = 6 + 2
x = 8.
The number is 8
Answer:
The amount of the bill is dependent on the number of texts sent. Let y be the bill amount and x the number of texts. Then x is independent and y is dependent. This is because x can be any non-negative number, but y depends upon it. You cannot find the bill without knowing the number of text messages, right?
Answer: 7.5"
Step-by-step explanation:
First, take away the extra 5" on the longer side lengths
40-5-5=30
Then divide by 4 to get the width
30/4=7.5
This works because if you took the 7.5" and added back the 5 inches, it makes 12.5. Then add all 4 sides together, you get 40.
7.5+7.5+12.5+12.5=
