The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
The answer is 36
Multiply each side by 9
9 times for and 9 times n/9
The n/9 will cancel out so you are left with n= 9 times 4
This comes to 36
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 12 for u, 7 for x, and 4 for y in the given expression:
u + xy = 12 + (7)(4)
Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply, and then add:
u + xy = 12 + (7 * 4) = 12 + (28) = 40
40 is your answer.
