Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial height of a Japanese maple sapling is 14 inches.
The tree is expected to grow 2.5 inches each month. This increase in height is linear, thus it is in arithmetic progression.
The expression for arithmetic progression is
Tn = a + (n-1)d
Where a = the first term of the series
d = common difference
Tn is the nth term of the series
n = the number of terms.
From the information given
a = 14 inches because it is the initial height of the tree
d = 2.5 because it is the difference in height between 2 consecutive months
n = m( number of months)
Tn = f(m)
function models the relationship between the height of the tree f(m) and the number of m months of growth will be
f(m) = 14 + 2.5(m-1)
The greatest common factor is 8
The original price for one lunch special is $19.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
The original price for one lunch special is 'p' dollar.
He wins a coupon for $4 off for each of five days. That means , <u>he needs to pay 
dollar each day</u>.
So, the total amount needed to pay for 5 days 
dollar
Given that, <u>he pays $75 for his 5 lunch specials</u>. So the equation will be.....
So, the original price for one lunch special is $19.
Answer:
x=23.5
Step-by-step explanation:
90=25-x/2+18
combine like terms
90=43-x/2
subtract 43 from both sides
47= -×/2
47/2= 23.5
x=23.5
or
90-25= 65
65-18=47
47/2=23.5
Answer:
5(2x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2(x - 6) + 4(2x + 1) + 3 ← distribute both parenthesis
= 2x - 12 + 8x + 4 + 3 ← collect like terms
= (2x + 8x) + (- 12 + 4 + 3)
= 10x + (- 5)
= 10x - 5 ← factor out 5 from each term
= 5(2x - 1) ← in factored form
