Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of caterpillars.

Since each catepillar eats 7 leaves,

Wesley have 7n number of leaves.

In this case 7n = 42, so n = 6.

Answer: 7n = 42, n = 6.

Explanation:

Every caterpillar eats 7 milkweed leaves. That means n is the number of caterpillars Wesley feeds every day. Since we know 7n is equal to 42, n = 6 because 42 ÷ 7 = 6.

4 The number of laps Jessica runs around the track is proportional to the time she
iragen [17]

Answer:

A. 24 lap/hour.

B. r = 24h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the number laps.

Let h be the time.

From the question given above, the number of laps (r) Jessica runs around the track is proportional to the time (h) she spend running. This can be written as:

r & h

r = Kh

Where:

r is the number of laps.

K is the constant of proportionality.

h is the time.

A. Determination of the constant of proportionality.

With the above formula, we can calculate the value of the constant of proportionality, K as follow:

Number of laps (r) = 12 laps

Time (h) = ½ hour

Constant of proportionality (K) =.?

r = Kh

12 = K × ½

12 = K/2

Cross multiply

K = 12 × 2

K = 24 lap/hour

Therefore, constant of proportionality is

24 lap/hour.

B. Equation for relationship between the number of lap and time. This is illustrated below:

r = Kh

K = 24

r = 24h

Therefore, the equation for relationship between the number of lap and time is r = 24h

I need help with this problem <br><br> Someone explain this to me
Anton [14]

Answer:

16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the relation between the 2 sides that you have measurements for. One is 16cm, the other 24cm. This means that triangle 2 is 1.5 times larger than triangle 1. Multiply the known measurement from tringle 1, 11cm by 1.5 and you get 16.5 cm

What are the solutions of 2x2 + 16x + 34 = 0?
Anni [7]
2x^2 + 16x + 34 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 17 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 16 = -17 + 16 = -1
(x + 4)^2 = -1
x + 4 = sqrt(-1) = ±i
x = -4 <span>±</span> i
