5 0

Answer:

18 rungs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of rungs

x/2 = middle

Climbed 3

x/2 +3

Down 5  

x/2 +3 -5

Climbed 9

x/2 +3 -5+9

Then climbed 2 more

x/2 +3 -5+9 +2

Now is at the top

x/2 +3 -5+9 +2 =x

Combine like terms

x/2 +9 = x

Subtract x/2 from each side

x/2+9-x/2 = x - x/2

9 = x/2

Multiply each side by 2

18 =x

last month, a bookstore ran the following at and sold 85 calculators, generating $4,083 in sales. How many of each type of calcu
Scilla [17]

Answer:

31 scientific calculators

54 graphing calculators

Step-by-step explanation:

X = number of $15 calculators

Y = number of $67 calculators

X+Y = 85   then X = 85-Y

15X+67Y = 4083

substitute for X

15(85-Y)+67Y = 4083

1275 - 15Y + 67Y = 4083

reduce

52Y = 2808

Y = 54

X = 31

(PLZ HELP STAT) The lengths of three sides of a trapezoid are shown below:
balandron [24]
Hey there :)

The perimeter formula of a trapezium is:
P = a + b + c + d ( adding all sides )

Perimeter is given : P = 17z³ + 60z² + 2z - 5

Part A :

Total lengths of sides 1, 2 and 3 will be just adding the given lengths : 
1 → 16z² - 4z + 2
2 → 7z² - 2z + 21
3 → 18z² - 3z + 2

side 1 + side 2 + side 3
( 16z² - 4z + 2 ) + ( 7z² - 2z + 21 ) + ( 18z² - 3z + 2 )

Combine like terms together:

16z² + 7z² + 18z² - 4z - 2z - 3z + 2 +21 + 2
41z² - 9z + 25

Part B:

Length of 4th side will be the total perimeter minus the total length of sides 1, 2 and 3:

( 17z³ + 60z² + 2z - 5 ) - ( 41z² - 9z + 25 )

Combine like terms

17z³ + 60z² - 41z² + 2z + 9z - 5 - 25
17z³ + 19z² + 11z - 30

Part C:

Addition of polynomials result in polynomials as well as subtraction of polynomials result in polynomials.

Therefore, this polynomial is closed under addition and subtraction.
