Hello!</h2><h2>
Let me help you.</h2>
As I understand, you need to write an equation that relates 
. This problem will be solved using equations. The problem states:
<em>Nick bought t candies and divided them equally between his y friends and me. Each of us got 7 candies.</em>
<em />
From this statement, we know that:
t: Number of candies Nick bought.
y: Number of friends.
Since I am included in this problem, the number of people involved here can be expressed as:
Since each of us got 7 candies, then it is true that:
<em>So t (number of candies) is a function of y(number of friends).</em>
2x = 15 - 3x -- add 3x to both sides
5x = 15 -- divide both sides by 5
x = 3 -- simplest form
Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2^2x = 2^3
2x = 3
x = 3/2
x + y = 24 where x and y are the 2 parts of diagonal Other diagonal wil be smaller that 24.
x^2 + z^2 = 13^2
y^2 + z^2 = 20^2 where z = 0.5 * length of smaller diagonal)
form last 2 equations
y^2 - x^2 = 20^2 - 13^2 = 231
now y = 24-x so we have
(24 - x)^2 - x^2 = 231
576 - 48x = 231
48x = 345
x = 7.1875
z^2 = 13^2 - 7.1875^2 = 117.34
z = 1.83
so smaller diagonal = 21.66 cm
looks like its the third choice.
