To solve this you have to use cross multiplication.
This gives you 3(x-5)=2(x+2)
3x-15=2x+4
x-15=4
x=19
Answer:
40.45 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of Lina's green pepper plant = 32.65 cm
It grows 2.6 cm during the months of July, August, and September.
Length at the end of July = 32.65 cm + 2.6 cm = 35.25 cm
Length at the end of August = 35.25 cm + 2.6 cm = 37.85 cm
Length at the end of September = 37.85 cm + 2.6 cm = 40.45 cm
So, its length will become 40.45 cm at the end of September.
Answer:
$8.85
Step-by-step explanation:
This a question of direct variation, so we can make out a relationship between the two factors. 12 is 2/3 of 18, so the cost of 12 would also be 2/3 of the cost of 18. We can now make an equation to solve.

In order to solve the problem what you must do is 5- .99 to get 5.01
