The answer would be 54. Because you start with 2.
2x3 = 6
6x3 = 18
18x3 = 54
Each month it triples so you continue
to add 3 to each result.
Answer:
y = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 16 - 3y = 0
Group like terms
y - 3y - 16 = 0
Add similar elements: y - 3y = - 2y
- 2y - 16 = 0
Add 16 to both sides
- 2y - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16
Simplify
- 2y = 16
Divide both sides by - 2
= 
Simplify
: y

Apply the fraction rule: 
= 
Divide the numbers: 
= y

: - 8

Apply the fraction rule: 

Divide the numbers:
= 8
= - 8
y = - 8
Answer:
12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the base
h represents the height
area of the parallelogram = base * height = 216 square inches
From the question'
b = 18 + 3h
Slot in the value of b
216 = (18 + 3h) * h
expand
216 = 18h + 3h^2
subtract 216 from both sides
0 = 18h + 3h^2 - 216
rearrange
3h^2 + 18h - 216 = 0
divide through by 3
h^2 + 6h - 72 = 0
Now, lets solve!
h^2 + 6h - 12h - 72 = 0
h( h + 6 ) - 12(h + 6) = 0
(h - 12) (h + 6) = 0
h - 12 = 0
h = 12
and
h + 6 = 0
h = - 6
Taking the positive value of h
Hence, the height is 12 inches
Lets check
when h = 12 inches
Area of the parallelogram = 18* 12 = 216 square inches .... correct
when h = -6inches
A = 18 * -6 ≠ 216 square inches
So height is 12 inches
