Answer:

Bert has $45.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have no real strategy, except for that I used guess and check. How did I do this? Well, since I am in 5th Grade, I don't know algebra very well, so I made an organized chart and checked all the numbers that had to be a multiple and  could be divided equally by 5, 3 and when a third of that number was subtracted by 6, it was a fifth of the orginal number. Thats how I got 45.

Checking this answer:

It is always important to check your answer after finishing the problem, so this is how I checked my answer:

1. 45 divided by 3 = 15

2. 15 - 6 = 9, and 9 is 1/5 of 45

Bert has $45.

3) Find two consecutive even integers such that their sum is equal to the difference of 3 times the larger & 2 times the sma
swat32

Answer:

In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.

The integers are 4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2

Here x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.

Now according to the given statement

Sum of both: x+x+2

difference of 3 times the larger & 2 times the smaller:3(x+2)-2x

Putting the sum and difference equal:

x+x+2 = 3(x+2)-2x

Solving the equation

2x+2 = 3x+6-2x\\2x+2 = x+6\\2x+2-x = x+6-x\\x+2 = 6\\x+2-2 = 6-2\\x = 4

The next integer will be:

x+2 = 4+2 = 6

Hence,

In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.

The integers are 4 and 6.

Need some geometry help
GenaCL600 [577]
Check the picture below.

that means

angle AFB is 27 + 2 = 29

angle BFC is 2(27) + 12 = 66

and angle CFD is 2(27) or 54

so hmmmm, you'd know which one isn't there.

The function f(x)=x^2 has been translated 9 units up and 4 units to the right to from the function g(x) which represents
leonid [27]
For translations like this use the formula:
f(x) = (x - h)² + k

where h is the lateral movement/shifts on the x-axis and k is the vertical movement/shifts on the y-axis. 

Since g(x) is a movement to the right 4 units and up 9 units, your h is a positive 4 and k is a 9:

g(x) = (x - 4)² + 9

Here's a picture of your original graph f(x) and your translation g(x)
