2. A book with a green sticker costs $2 less than half the price of a

Damm [24]3 years ago

For this case we can propose an equation that will allow us to find the price of one of the books knowing the price of the other.

x: Let the variable that represents the price of the book with a green sticker

y: Let the variable that represents the price of the book with a yellow sticker

According to the statement we have:

x = \frac {y} {2} -2\\

y=2(x+2)

Finally, we can substitute the price of one of the books and clear the value of the other as the case may be.

Answer:

x = \frac {y} {2} -2

A store has shirts on display. Seven of the shirts are red. There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. There are 2 fewer ye
Nady [450]

Answer: green shirts = 6

Blue shirts = 11

Yellow shirts = 4

Red shirts = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Red shirts = 7

Let green shirts be x.

There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. This means:

Blue shirts = x + 5

There are 2 fewer yellow shirts than green shirts. This means:

Yellow shirts = x - 2

There are 28 shirts in total

Red + blue + yellow + green = 28

7 + (x + 5) + (x - 2) + x = 28

7 + x + 5 + x - 2 + x = 28

10 + 3x = 28

3x = 28 - 10

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

There are 6 green shirts

Blue shirts = x + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Yellow shirts = x - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4

Red shirts = 7

Katen [24]
Pi times 0.8 = 2.513274123 ( one trip )
2 times 2.513274123 = 5.02654826

So the answer is 5.02654826 and you’ll round it to 5 miles

A piece of land is shaped like a right triangle. Two people start at the right angle at the same time, and walk at the same spee
sweet [91]

Answer:

1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab

where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²

now we find the derivative of both sides:

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt

dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity

we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s

velocity = dA/dt / x

velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s
