Let's say that ground level is 0. When she goes down to the basement, she is going -12 feet since each flight of stairs is12 feet. Then she goes up 12 more feet= -12+12=0. She is back at ground level. Then she goes up another 12 feet= 0+12= 12. So I believe the answer is 12 feet.
The equation would be 35=5x. ‘x’ is the number of seashells her brother has, and the 5 in front of the x is showing that she has 5 times more than him. to find how many her brother has, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to make the x stand alone. you should then get 7=x, meaning that her brother has 7 shells
It is exponentially each time you are dividing by 4/3
Jessie = Todd + 6
Todd = Ryan -2
if Ryan = r
so Todd = r-2
then Jessie = (r-2) + 6 = r-4 years old
