A ton is 2,000 lb , so 2 tons would be 4,000 lb. 4,000+445.5=4,445.5
The two elephants combined weigh 4,445.5 lb.
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:
It's the first choice y = (-5/2)x - 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the line 5x + 2y = 12 by converting to slope-intercept form.
5x + 2y = 12
2y = -5x + 12
y = (-5/2)x + 6 so the slope is (-5/2).
The line we require had also a slope of -5/2 because it is parallel to the first line and it also passes through the point (-2, 4). So:
y - 4 = (-5/2)(x - -2) (the point-slope form)
y - 4 = (-5/2)(x + 2)
y = (-5/2)x - 5 + 4
y = (-5/2)x - 1 (answer)
Answer:
x= -19
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-10 = 7x +28
2x=-38
-38÷2
×= -19
