Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
let s be the snowman, g be the girl, and t be the christmas tree
2s+g=24
2t+2ts=132
3t+2g=26
subtract 2 times the first equation from the third one to get
3t-4s=-22
from the second equation we can deduce
2t(1+s)=132
t(1+s)=66
t=66/(1+s)
Substitute:
3(66)/(1+s)-4s=-22
3(66)/(1+s)=4s-22
3(66)=(4s-22)(1+s)
3(66)=-18s+4s^2-22
4s^2-18s-220=0
using the quadratic formula, we get s = 10, s = -5.5.
2(10)+g=24
g=4
2t(1+10)=132
2t=12
t=6
So 2s+t*g= 20+6*4=48
you would get a different solution for the negative s, but since snowmen cannot be negative, 48 is the answe.r

Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 3) = 2(x + 3) Distribute
5x - 15 = 2x + 6
+ 15 + 15 Switch sides to the liked terms
5x = 2x + 6 + 15
-2x -2x Switch sides to the liked terms
5x - 2x = 6 + 15
<u>3x</u> = 21 Divide
3 3
x = 7
The option which best describes the meaning of the term theorem is <span><u>B. A conclusion proved by deductive reasoning.
</u>A refers to hypothesis, C to an axiom, and D to a definition. <u>
</u></span>
