we have that
*-------------------------*--------------------------------*
E F G
EF=2x-12
FG= 3x-15
EG=23
we know that
EF + FG = EG
so
[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify
5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides
5x = 50 divide both sides by 5
x = 10
EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8
FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15
therefore
the answer part a) is
the value of x is 10
the answer part b) is
the value of EF is 8
the answer part c) is
the value of FG is 15
Answer:
The ball traveled 116.25 m when it hit the ground for the fifth term
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric progression exercise and what we are asked to look for is the sum of a GP.
The ball was dropped from a height of 60 m. This means that the initial height of the ball is 60 m.
First value, a = 60
Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped.
This is the common ratio, r = 1/2 = 0.5
The number of terms it hits the ground is the number of terms in the GP.
number of terms, n = 5
The distance traveled by the ball when it hit the ground for the fifth term will be modeled by the equation:
We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.

Answer: 2 pounds
Step-by-step explanation: There are 16 ounces in one pound. So when you divide 32 by 16, you get 2. Therefore your answer would be 2 pounds!
