Answer: 1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount saved= $135
Amount planned to save= $75
Fraction= 135/75 = 9/5
Decimal= 1.8
I may be wrong but I think the answer is B.
If the '7t' is supposed to be '7y', then the answer is below
(4y+8)-(7y-12)=11
distribute the negative into the second parenthesis
4y+8-7y+12=11
combine like terms
-3y+20=11
subtract the 20 from both sides
-3y=-9
divide by -3 on both sides
y=3
if it is supposed to be '7t', I'm not sure if there's enough information
Answer:
a)4080 trees
b)104 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st - 24 trees</u>
<u>last (40th) - 180 trees</u>
If differences between any row (except 40th) and next row are equal then
<u>2nd - 24 trees+X</u>
<u>3rd - (2nd+X) or 24 trees + 2X</u>
coefficient of X is <u>number of row minus 1</u>, therefore 40th row has <u>24 trees + 39X</u>, and it is equal to <u>180</u>. We can make an equation from this:
<u>24tr+39X=180tr</u>
<u>39X=156tr</u>
<u>X=4tr</u>
By this we can find how many trees are there in the 21st, 21st row has 24 trees+20X=24 trees+80 trees=104 trees
To find how many trees are there in the whole orchard, we add them all:
<u>1st - 24 trees, 2nd - 24 trees + X, 3rd - 24 trees + 2X,</u>
easily, it is just <u>24 trees x 40 + 39X x 20 = 4080 trees</u>
