Variables are taken from the first letter of the color, ex: green = g.
Given:
r = g
2r = b = y
Total =42
So then:
r+ r + 2r + 2r = 42
6r = 42
r = 7
y = 2r
y = 2(7)
14 of the 42 pencils were yellow.
Answer:
35y - 67
Step-by-step explanation:
8(5y - 8) - (5y + 3)
Multiply the 8 with what is in the parentheses.
40y - 64 - 5y + 3
Subtract like terms.
35y - 67
8 thousands is equal to 8000.
15 hundreds is equal to 1500.
15 tens is equal to 150.
18 ones is equal to 18.
So just add them up.
8000 + 1500 = 9500.
9500 + 150 = 9650.
9650 + 18 = 9668.
The number is 9668
The thing is that every 4 years, the tree grows 6 inches, so that could be expressed as a ratio, 4/6. That also means that every two years, the tree grows 3 inches since it could be simplified to 2/3.
