Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as

the semi-dwarf lemon. Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. Write and solve an equation to determine how much each tree grew. Make sure you define your variable.

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

I don't understand this, can somebody please explain it to me?
Artyom0805 [142]
Looking at the equation, you could see that it is in vertex form. Vertex form looks like this: y=a(x-h)^2+k where a is the slope to find the first point away from the origin and (h,k) is the vertex. So, the vertex is (3,-1). The first point away from the origin is up two, over one, so the slope is 2. This means that a is 2. One way you could check this is by putting 2 in for a. If you put it into standard form, it would be 2x^2-12x+17. To find the x in the vertex when the equation is in standard form we use -b/2a. So it would give us 3 for x. If we put in 3 for x, we get -1 for y, so the vertex is (3,-1). This means that a is 2. Sorry for this lengthy answer, hope it helps.

Jessica is at a charity fundraiser and has a chance of receiving a gift. The odds in favor of receiving a gift are 5/12. Find th
Goryan [66]

Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question to calculate probability from odds. The formula is given as:

A formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1)

From the question , we are told that the odds of receiving a gift is

= 5:12

The probability of Jessica receiving a gift =

Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1)

P = 5/12 / ( 5/12 + 1)

P = (5/12)/ (17/12)

P = 5/12 × 12/17

= 5/17

Therefore, the probability of Jessica. receiving a gift is 5/17.

algol13
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2></h2><h3>21m</h3><h2></h2><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The diagram and complete question is shown below. We know that the length (L) of the living scale in the drawing is:

L=16.8cm

We also know that the scale is:

Scale:2cm=2.5m

Then, by using proportion we have:

\frac{2.5m}{2cm}=\frac{x}{16.8cm} \\ \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ x=\frac{2.5m}{2cm}(16.8cm) \\ \\ \boxed{x=21m}
