Answer:
a. 7m+19
b. You caught more fireflies, your friend caught less
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, you divide both sides of the equation by 12.20. This would look like this:
12.20x/12.20 =372.10/12.20 . Then, the answer you get is 30.5, so. X=30.5
A.
In the first generation we have 2 ancestors.
In the second generation we have 4 ancestors or

ancestors.
In the third generation we have 8 ancestors ot

ancestors.
We can see that each succesive generation has two times more members. The sum is:

To calculate number of ancestors we can use formula <span>for the sum of a geometric sequence. Geometric sequence is sequence of numbers that differ by a certain factor. This factor is called ratio. Formula is:
</span>

<span>Where:
S -> sum
a1 -> first member of a sequence
r -> ratio
n -> number of elements
For this question:
a1 = 2
r = 2
n = 40
</span>

<span>
b.
1 generation = 25 years
40 generations = 40 * 25 = 1000 years
c.
Total number of people who have ever lived = </span>

Number of ancestors in 40 generations =

The number of ancestors is greater than total number of people who have ever lived. This means that not all ancestors were distinct and that in each generation both men and women had children with more than one partner.
1 meter = 1000 millimeters
One equation for this would be

We start by finding the slope between the two points:

A line parallel to this one will have the same slope. We will use point-slope form to write our equation:
