Answer:

Andrew has 9 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining what our unknowns are and how to name them:

For the number of cars Andrew has: let's use the letter A

For the number of cars Luke has: let's use the letter L

Not write the first sentence in mathematical terms:

"Luke has 4 more than triples the number of cars that Andrew has."

L = 3 * A + 4

The second phrase results on a very simple equation since it just states the number of cars that Luke has:

L = 31

Now we can combine these two equations by replacing the variable "L" in the first equation with the second equation and then solve for A:

L = 3 * A + 4

31 = 3 * A +4

31 - 4 = 3 * A

27 = 3 * A

A = 27/3

A = 9

Therefore, Andrew has 9 cars.

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE FOR X
jeka57 [31]

Looks like the labeled angle is bisected, in which case we can apply the angle bisector theorem. For this triangle, it says

\dfrac x3=\dfrac{x+2}{x+4}

Solve for x:

x(x+4)=3(x+2)

x^2+4x=3x+6

x^2+x-6=0

(x+3)(x-2)=0

Then either x=-3 or x=2, but since x is a length, it must be positive. So <em>x</em> = 2.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

bool b = isupper(x);

Step-by-step explanation:

I have written the expression for a char variable x.The isupper(x) will return true if the character x is upper case and false if the character x is lower case.

I have stored the returned value to a bool variable b .So the value of variable b will be true only when the x is in uppercase and false when b is lower case.
