Answer: Todd earned $40 mowing the neighbor's lawn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of money that Todd earned, mowing his neighbor's lawn.
He spent one-fourth of his money see a movie. It means that the amount spent in seeing a movie is x/4
Then he spent $6.00 on popcorn and drinks. It means that the total amount spent is
x/4 + 6
The amount left would be
x - (x/4 + 6) = x - x/4 - 6
When he went home, he had $24.00 left. It means that
x - x/4 - 6 = 24
x - x/4 = 24 + 6
x - x/4 = 30
Cross multiplying by 4, it becomes
4x - x = 120
3x = 120
x = 120/3
x = $40
Answer: x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have no problem at all if it said "7 cows minus 2 cows", or "7 books minus 2 books". The THINGS just happen to be m's instead of cows or books.
Answer: The height of the pole is 175.97 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the pole is x cm,
Also, let the angle of elevation of the sun to the pole at 3 pm is 
Thus, by the question,

( at 3pm the height of shadow = height of the pole)


Again, according to the question,
When the angle of elevation is
,
The height of shadow = x + 95,
