Answer:
21 windows
Step-by-step explanation:
collen family plans to paint the windows of their house. her father will paint twice as many windows as her mother, and collen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows. Colleen decided to do her own share and her mother's share and paints 7 window, which is one less than her father's share. how many windows are in their house?
Answer: Let the number of window Collen father would paint be a while that of her mother be b. Since her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, therefore the number of windows painted by the father a = 2b
Let the number of windows that would be needed to be painted each by Colleen and her 2 brothers be c because they would paint the equal number of windows.
The total number of windows to be painted = 2b + b + c + c + c = 3b + 3c = 3(b + c).
Collen painted 7 windows as her mother and her own share which is one less than the fathers share. Therefore b + c = 7.
Also the fathers share a = 2b = 7 + 1 = 8 windows. Therefore b = 4 which is the mother share
Therefore the total number of windows = 3(b + c) = 3(7) = 21 windows
3b + 3c = 21
3(4) + 3c = 21
12 + 3c = 21
3c = 21 - 12
3c = 9
c = 3 which is collen and her brothers share
54 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is -11
You put "-1" in place of all the "a"s and get
-(-1) - 12(-1)^2
-(-1) is just 1, and (-1)^2 is "1"
We are then left with 1-12(1) which is 1-12 which is -11
9 students
30% ends up being .3%, multiply .3% by 30 students which equals 9.
When you divide 1/12 with long division, you get 0.08333...
The 3s keep going forever, and they never end.
