Answer:

7 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 brothers

First , Second, Third

Let the total number cookies be represented by A

1 cookie = 1

Working backwards, we start from the third brother

If we work backwards

It means he gave everything away

We start from the youngest

He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie

This means,

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

The second brother

He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies

Half of what is left from brother

= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie

= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2

= 1.5 + 1/2

= 2 cookies

For the first brother

He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie

= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies

= 3 1/2 + 1/2

= 4 cookies

The first brother got 4 cookies

The second brother got 2 cookies

The third broth got 1 cookies

If R is between P and Q, find the value of x and PR. PQ=17, PR=5x+2, RQ=x^2-1

The value of x will be2.217 and PR will be 13.085 units.

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line section that can connect two places is referred to as a segment.

In other words, a line segment is just part of a big line that is straight and going unlimited in both directions.

The line is here! It extends endlessly in both directions and has no beginning or conclusion.

Given that,

Line PQ consists of two segments PR and RQ

So,

PQ = PR + RQ

17 = 5x+2 + x² - 1

x² + 5x  - 16 = 0

The roots of the equation will be

x = [-5 + √(25 + 64) ] ÷ 2

x = 2.217

Now,

PR = 5(2.217) + 2 = 13.085

Hence "The value of x will be2.217 and PR will be 13.085 units".

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so. She gets 5 dollars and she does 15 chores. You would multiply it.

5 * 15 = $75

Then you would subtract 112 and 75.

112 - 75 = 37.

She will get $75. Then, she will need to gather $37
