x-x=0,
x will cancel out
Answer:3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways you can do this. You can use the longer way:
15+16+17+18+19+20+21+22+23+24 = 195 (starting from the top row, which has 15 logs, up until the bottom row, which has 24 logs, on condition that each second row has one log more than the previous one)
You can also use the formula (where n is the number of rows)
x= (n(first term+last term))/2
x= (10(15+24))/2
x= (10*39)/2
x=390/2
x=195
Either way, there are 195 logs in the stack.
Answer:
Natalie is 15
Fred is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
You would first create equations to represent the problem. You would then solve for a variable (I chose to solve for y). I subtracted each equation from each other which helped me isolate y, which equaled 15. I then substituted y for 15 which allowed me to isolate x, which gave me 24.
(the equations)
x + y = 39
x + 3y = 69
(solving for y)
x + 3y = 69 - x + y = 39
x-x +3y -y = 69 - 39
2y = 30
y = 15
(solving for x)
x + 15 = 39
x +15 -15 = 39 -15
x = 24
