let l = lance, and a = alex.
so: l + a = 70
and l = 4a
Putting the value for l in the first equation:
4a +a = 70
5a = 70
a = 14.
So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.
And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
Answer: Choice C

=========================================================
Explanation:
There are four marked points on the line.
Each point is of the form (x,y)
- The first or left most point is (0,1)
- The second point is (2,2)
- The third is (4,3)
- The fourth is (6,4)
Each of these points is then listed in the table format as shown above.
There are infinitely many other points on the line; however, we only select a few of them to make the table (or else we'd be here all day).
Extra side notes:
- The slope of this line is m = 1/2 = 0.5
- The y intercept is 1 located at (0,1)
- The equation of this line is y = 0.5x+1
Answer:
original is 4 & 6.
for 54 sq inch= 6 & 9 and for 96 sq inch=8 & 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The length is 1.5 times the width.
so the length is, l = 1.5w
----(a)
lw = 24 =1.5w(w)
lw = 54=
1.5w(w)
lw = 96
=1.5w(w)
Further simplifying it,
1.5
=24
1.5
=54
1.5
=96
so,
=
=16
=
36
=
64
taking the square root, we get:
w = 4
w = 6
w = 8
By putting the above values in eq (a), we can find their corresponding lengths:
l = 1.5(4) = 6
l = 1.5(6) = 9
l = 1.5(8) = 12
So a few lengths could be:
(l, w)
(6,4)
(9,6)
(12,8)
Use point (-3,2):
2 = 4*(-3) + b
b = 2 +12
b = 14
The equation is y = 4x + 14
