Let P = pencil length, M = marker length and Pn = pen length.

We know that the sum of these lengths is 48 cm so:

P + Pn + M = 48 (Equation 1)

Now we need to use the relationships of the lengths to find 2 more equations:

Pn = M - 1 (Equation 2)
M = P - 1 (Equation 3)

Now, sub Equations 2 and 3 into the first equation and solve for the value of P, which is 17.

Next, use the value of P to find your M value and then finally use that M value to get your Pn value.

The final answer is: pencil length = 17cm, marker length = 16cm and pen length = 15cm.

Can someone answer this question please?

Steps:
1. calculate the values of y at x=0,1,2. using y=5-x^2
2. calculate the areas of trapezoids (Bottom+Top)/2*height
3. add the areas.

1. 
x=0, y=5-0^2=5
x=1, y=5-1^2=4
x=2, y=5-2^2=1
2. 
Area of trapezoid 1 = (5+4)/2*1=4.5
Area of trapezoid 2 = (4+1)/2*1=2.5

Total area of both trapezoids = (4.5+2.5) = 7

Exact area by integration:
integral of (5-x^2)dx   from 0 to 2
=[5x-x^3/3] from 0 to 2
=[5(2-0)-(2^3-0^3)/3]
=10-8/3
=22/3
=7 1/3, slight greater than the estimation by trapezoids.

Answers:

Answer for row one:     1

Answer for row two:     11

Answer for row three:   16

Answer for row four:     36

=========================================

Work Shown:

Whatever the x value is, we multiply by 5 and subtract off 14 to get the corresponding y value. This is following the order of operations PEMDAS

------------

If x = 3, then

y = 5*x - 14

y = 5*3 - 14  ..... note how x is replaced with 3

y = 15 - 14

y = 1

This means that when x = 3, the y value is y = 1.

So 1 goes in the box in the first row.

---------------

Repeat for x = 5

y = 5*x - 14

y = 5*5 - 14

y = 25 - 14

y = 11

We have 11 as the second answer.

--------------

Repeat for x = 6

y = 5*x - 14

y = 5*6 - 14

y = 30 - 14

y = 16

The third answer is 16.

--------------

Repeat for x = 10

y = 5*x - 14

y = 5*10 - 14

y = 50 - 14

y = 36

The last answer is 36.
