Answer:
7 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3 brothers
First , Second, Third
Let the total number cookies be represented by A
1 cookie = 1
Working backwards, we start from the third brother
If we work backwards
It means he gave everything away
We start from the youngest
He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie
This means,
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The second brother
He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies
Half of what is left from brother
= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie
= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 1.5 + 1/2
= 2 cookies
For the first brother
He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie
= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies
= 3 1/2 + 1/2
= 4 cookies
The first brother got 4 cookies
The second brother got 2 cookies
The third broth got 1 cookies
Answer is C.
For every option, sub in the value and find the answer that matches the equation!
Example for option A, F(x) = x + 4 and G(x) = x²
G(F(x)) = G(x + 4) ーー> sub in the value of F(x)
Let's take the subbed in value, (x + 4) as x, and this x will be the x for G(x).
∴ Since G(x) is x²
G(x + 4) = (x + 4)² ーー> remember (x + 4) is represented as x.
= x² + 16
∴ You know that the answer is not A, do this for all options and you'll find the answer, C!
The answer would be: t= -5/4
Answer:
(6, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
{ 3x - y = 6
{ x - 2y = -18
by using elimination:
6x -2y=12
x - 2y= -18
________-
5x = 30
x = 6
y = 18-6 = 12
the solutions = {(6, 12)}
