Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

when performing x-17=-29, you first have to do the inverse of -17 in order to isolate x. Therefore, your would +17 to the left side of the equation (x-17) resulting in only the letter x being left on that side. Then you would have to add the 17 to the other side of the equation resulting in x=-29+17 which will then result in x=12.

Tarinda's corn plant was 7- 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1. The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2. Ho

Answer:

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 and 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1.

The height at the end of week 1, as a simple fraction, is:

$7 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3*7 + 1}{3} = \frac{22}{3}$

The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2.

At the end of week 2, the height will be of:

$18 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{18*2+1}{2} = \frac{37}{2}$

How many inches did the corn plant grow during Week 2?

Height at the end of week 2 subtracted by the height at the end of week 1. So

$\frac{37}{2} - \frac{22}{3} = \frac{3*37-2*22}{6} = \frac{67}{6} = 11.17$

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.
