Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.

the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.

the full size tree grew by 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.

Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2

A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x

Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that

x/2 + x + 3x = 27

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

x + 2x + 6x = 54

9x = 54

x = 54/9

x = 6 inches

The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.

The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches

How would I solve this equation?
Assoli18 [71]
2(7/2)^x = 49/2

Divide both sides by 2:

(7/2)^x = 49/4

I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:

(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2

The only way for this to be true is if x = 2.  Thus, we are done.

Mrs. Carlson wrote the following question for her class: "Ricardo's basketball team is selling raffle tickets, Each ticket costs
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

michelle, kaley, and Rebecca.

Step-by-step explanation:

They have sold 100 tickets so far ($75), they need to sell 380 ($285) tickets in total and need to sell 280 more tickets.

Michelle was wrong because she should have divided 210 (how much more money they need to sell on tickets) into .75 (which is how much each ticket costs).

Kaley was wrong because she should have also divided 210 into .75 like Michelle.

Rebecca should have also divided 210 into .75.

Eva was the only correct one.

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AC is an angle bisector of ∠DAB and ∠DAB

m∠BCA ≅ m∠DCA

m∠BAC ≅ m∠DAC

To Prove:

ΔABC ≅ ΔADC

Solution:

               Statements                                  Reasons

1). m∠BCA ≅ m∠DCA                            1). Given

2). m∠BAC ≅ m∠DAC                           2). Given

3). AC ≅ AC                                            3). Reflexive property

4). ΔABC ≅ ΔADC                                 4). ASA property of congruence

Therefore, Option (2) will be the correct option.
