Answer:
Sally has been measuring the tree for 4 months
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is as follows;
Sally has been measuring the tree in her yard for a science project. The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and grown a total of 2 inches taller. How many months has Sally been measuring this tree?
.........................................................................................
Solution;
The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and has grown a total of 2 inch taller.
We now need to know the number of months in which the measuring has been taking place.
To know the number of months, we simply need to divide the change in height which is 2 inch by the individual month growth rate which is 1/2 inch
So mathematically, that would be 2/1/2 = 2 * 2 = 4 months
The answer is C.
When a positive and negative number are multipled or divided, the result is negative.
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since
, by the corresponding angles theorem,
. This means
by AA.
As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.
Therefore, the answer is <u>5</u>
Answer:
x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 9 = 153
subtract 9 from both sides -9 -9
3x = 144
divide both sides by 3 3x/3 = 144/3
2x + (x + 9) = 153
2(48) + (48 + 9) = 153
96 + 57 = 153
153 = 153
