Let t, h, b represent the weighs of tail, head, and body, respectively.
t = 4 . . . . given
h = t + b/2 . . . . the head weighs as much as the tail and half the body
b/2 = h + t . . . . half the body weighs as much as the head and tail
_____
Substituting for b/2 in the second equation using the expression in the third equation, we have
... h = t + (h + t)
Subtracting h from both sides gives
... 0 = 2t . . . . . . in contradiction to the initial statement about tail weight.
Conclusion: there's no solution to the problem given here.
12 times because you divide 60 by 5 and get 12.
Answer:
a = (r/x) -b
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
r=x(a+b)
Divide each side by x
r/x = a+b
Subtract b
r/x -b = a
x/2=-7
Multiply each side by 2
x/2*2 = -7*2
x = -14
Answer:
-41
Step-by-step explanation:
You would replace all x's with -9 and solve.
