Let x = # of computer games nick has
then
Anish has 1/2x games
and
Scot has 1/2*1/3 = 1/6x games
thus
1/6x + 1/2x + x = 140
1/6x + 3/6x + x = 140
10/6x = 140
10x =140* 6
x = 84 > Nick
1/2x = 42 > Anish
1/6x = 14 > Scot
Answer:
9 - 11 = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 9 is being subtracted by a number greater than itself, the answer has to be a negative and because:
9 + 2 = 11
9 - 11 = (-2)

15/10 = 18-x/x is the ratio of the larger to the smaller triangle
Cross multiply:
15x = 10(18 - x)
15x = 180 - 10x
25x = 180
x = 7.2
Plug back in to check
15/10 = 1.5
18-7.2/7.2 = 10.8/7.2 = 1.5 :)
Answer:
31 vacuums
Step-by-step explanation:
1800 = 250 + 50v
1800 - 250 = 50v
50v = 1550
v = 1550 / 50
v = 31

Answer:
The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was
, and for the next three years we have that
Start End
Second year
-------------- 
Third year
-------------
Fourth year
--------------
So the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year is
we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then
⇒
Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.
