Answer:
x = 3.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both expressions
14x - 18 = 5x + 15
Subtract the bigger (n)x by the smaller
14x - 5x = 9x
Plus the smallest by itself, giving you:
9x - 18 = 15
+18 +18
9x = 33
Simplify ( divided by 3 )
3x = 11
x = 3.67
Answer:
7 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
change 4 5/6 into an irregular fraction. 29/6
divide 29/6 by 2/3. to do this, flip and multiply
29/6 * 3/2 = 87/12 = 7.25 or 7 whole pieces
So you basically add the amount it grew each week. So week one is 2 and 1/2, week two is 2 and 3/4 and week three is 3 and 1/4. to make things simpler, add week two and three which gets you 6inches, then add week one, to get 8 and a half inches.
