The estimated lengths are 12in. and 5 in. This would be an estimated difference of 7in.
The estimated difference is going to be higher than the actual difference because in rounding 11.7 to 12, you are losing .30in, but in rounding down 5.25 to 5, you are actually gaining .75in.
The ACTUAL difference is 6.45in
So this can be solve by establish two equation:
let x be age of montell
y be tha age of her mom
for the first equation (<span>Montell is 30 years)</span>:
x = y - 30
second equation ( in 5 years )
x + 5 = ( y + 5 ) ( 1/3)
solving the equation simultaneously
x = 10 years old
y = 40 years old
x = -9
-3x when x is 3 would be -3(3) = -9
Answer:
It's D: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
To square means to multiply something by itself. A variable is a letter such as x. So a squared variable=x×x=x^2.
I hope that helped.
