If 21 is added to a number, the result is 41 less than twice the number. Find the number.

Answer: 62

Step-by-step explanation: Set up your equation

  1. 21+x=2x-41 because the number (x) that 21 is added to is 41 <em>less than</em> (so subtraction) <em>twice </em>(so multiply the number x by 2) the number (x).
  2. Get the x's on one side by subtracting the single x
  3. 21=x-41
  4. Now add 41 to both sides to completely isolate x
  5. 62=x
  6. So, your answer is x=62. The number is 62.

Check your work. 62+21=83. 2(62)= 124. 124-41=83. Both equations equal 83, so the solution is correct.

The fence is 210 ft long.
There is a post every 3.5 ft.
If you divide 210 ft by 3.5 ft, you get the number of spaces between posts.
(210 ft)/(3.5 ft) = 60
The fence starts with a post. Then there is 3.5 ft of fencing. Then there is another post. Then there is another 3.5 ft of fencing followed by a post. In total there are 61 posts.

Here's another way of thinking of why you end up with 60 posts.
For each 3.5 ft of fencing, you place a post at the end of the fencing.
Since there are 60 3.5-ft-long pieces of fencing, there will be 60 posts, one at the end of each piece of fencing. The first thing that is done is to put the initial post before any fencing is put up. The first post plus 60 more posts add up to 61 posts.

Now that you see why there are 61 posts, we can calculate their cost.
61 * $8.50 = $518.50

10. What is an expression for the perimeter of the triangle?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

See explanation, and comment for more details!

Step-by-step explanation:

10. The perimeter of any shape is the sum of the length of the sides, which means that the perimeter of this triangle is x+y+z.

11. Since this is a right triangle, the two legs form the height and base. The area of this triangle is therefore x*y/2.

12.

a. x=3, y=4, z=5

b. x=\sqrt{2}, y=\sqrt{2}, z=2

c.x= \sqrt{3}, y=2, z=\sqrt{7}

Hope this helps!
