Answer:
3x - (15 x 3) = 90
or
3x - 45 = 90
Explanation:
there are 3 boxes. We don't know how many are in them yet, so we write this as 3x. However, we know that we give away 15 to 3 different teachers. 15 x 3 = 45
Therefore the first part is 3x - 45
We also know that in the end we have 90 left.
So our final equation is:
3x - 45 = 90
Answer:
82 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus
let the legs be n and n + 2
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side
n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )
2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42
n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40
But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40
and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
It sounds like they had $708.88 at the beginning, however by the end of the year they OWED $347.99. The first number is in the positive while the other is a negative. Add the last number to the first number for the amount that they have spent which would be $1,056.87.
we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.

</h3><h3>What is the scale factor from M to S?</h3>
Suppose we have a figure S. If we apply a stretch of scale factor K to our figure S, we can say that all the dimensions of figure S are multiplied by K.
So, if S represents the length of a bar, then after the stretch we will get a bar of length M, such that:
M = S*K
If that scale factor is 3/2, then we have the case of the problem:
M = (3/2)*S
We can isolate S in the above relation:
(2/3)*M = S
Now we have an equation (similar to the first one) that says that the scale factor from M to S is 2/3.
Then we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.
