We can let x be the number of boxes sold for the first week. We can as well express the number of boxes for the second and third week through x using the statements provided.
Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:
first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)
Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have
x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104
We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218
Answer:
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218

Answer:
jan is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
40 - 3k + 10k = -10 - 8k - 10
40 + 7k = -10 - 8k - 10
40 + 7k = -8k - 20
40 + 7k - 40 = -8k - 20 - 40
7k = -8k - 60
7k + 8k = -8k - 60 + 8k
15k = -60
15k/15 = -60/15
k = -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line you will find should be in the form y =mx+c , where m is the gradient and c is the y intercept.
The gradient of a line that is perpendicular to a line [of a known gradient] is the negative reciprocal of the gradient of the first. i.e. if a is the known gradient and the perpendicular gradient is b, ab = -1. Therefore the -3b=-1 and b= 1/3
you can now write y = mx +c as y = 1/3x +c
As you have been given a coordinate, you can input these values into y= 1/3x + c
-12 = 1/3(6) +c
-12 - 2 = c
c = -14
hence the equation of the line is y= 1/3x -14
