Oh Foxy, Foxy, how totally debilitated you must be ! Try to relax. Nobody
enjoys a painful brain, and believe me, this problem is not worth it.
Let me put it to you this way: What if the problem said . . .
-- Demarcus has $8 more than his sister.
-- His sister has $4.
-- How much money ' M ' does Demarcus have ?
If your brain didn't hurt, you could quickly solve this right in there.
You would know that Demarcus' money ' M ' = 8 + 4 .
That's <em>almost </em>exactly what the problem <em>does</em> say.
Except it doesn't say he has "$8 more than his sister",
it says he has "at least" that much.
So you know that ' M ' is not exactly = 8 + 4, but that's the <u>least</u> it could be.
The actual amount of ' M ' is <u>more</u> than that.
Surely you can handle it from here, even with half of your brain
tied behind your back.
Take a good hard look at ' A ', and then go lie down.
Answer: 5 7\8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
11.8 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
6(x + 4) = 2(y + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides of the equation
6x + 24 = 2y + 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
6x + 14 = 2y ( divide all terms by 2 )
3x + 7 = y, hence
y = 3x + 7 → C
