Answer:

After 5.6 weeks they will have the same number of comic books.

Number of books = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom currently has 5 comic books in his collection and has subscribed to receive 5 new comic books each month.

Again, his uncle has 145 comic books but sends five to each of his 3 nieces each month.

As Tom is one of his nieces so, in every week the collection of tom gets increases by (5 + 5) = 10

Therefore, after w weeks tom's collection will have C₁ = 5 + 10w ......... (1)

And Tom's uncle will have after w weeks C₂ = 145 - 15w ............ (2) comic books in his collection.

If C₁ = C₂ , then  

5 + 10w = 145 - 15w

⇒ 25w = 140

⇒ w = 5.6 weeks.  

Therefore, after 5.6 weeks they will have the same number of comic books. (Answer)

And the number of books it will be  

C = 5 + 10 × 5.6 = 61. (Answer)

romanna [79]

Answer:

<em>Circumference:</em> 18.84 cm

<em>Area:</em> 28.26 cm^2 (exponent 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2(pi)r

The diameter is 6. Means the radius is 3 (half of 6)

pi = 3.14

2(3.14) x 3 = 18.84

Circumference is 18.84 cm.

Area of a circle = (pi)r^2

(3.14)(3)^2 = 28.26 cm^2 (exponent 2)

Kryger [21]

Answer:

x= (y-5)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the x variable.

y= 2x +5

Subtract 5 from both sides.

y-5=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

(y-5)/2= x
