M² is equivalent to the expression M x M .
Answer: Fran's number is 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent Jen's number.
Let y represent Carrie's number.
Let z represent Fran's number.
When you add their numbers together you get 207. This means that
x + y + z = 207 - - - - - - - - - -1
Jen's number is 9 more than Carrie's number. It means that
y = x - 9
Fran's number is 3 less than Jen's number. It means that
z = x - 3
Substituting y = x - 9 and z = x - 3 into equation 1, it becomes.
x + x - 9 + x - 3 = 207
3x - 12 = 207
3x = 207 + 12 = 219
x = 219/3 = 73
y = x - 9 = 73 - 9
y = 64
z = x - 3 = 73 - 3
z = 70
Not sure what 14 is asking?
15 would be 16.
The square root of width squared plus length squared equals the diagonal.
So if you just change the order of the equation you can find the length.
Double check it by doing it both ways to see if your answer is right.
