There are 72 boys. 7:6 = 84:?, divide 84 by 7, you get 12. Multiply 6 by 12 to get the answer.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: N = 143
Discussion:
This one took some trial and error! At first I listed all 2 digit primes, looked at the list, but didn't know how to proceed. So, I took the smallest 2 digit primes numbers: 11 and 13 and wondered if their product, 13*11 = 143, could be represented as the sum of 3 consecutive primes. I went back to my list of primes, added groups of three consecutive numbers that seemed to be in the right range to give the desired sum, and stumbled on 43, 47, and 53!
43 + 47 + 53 = 143 !
Therefore N = 143. It's the sum of 43, 47, and 53 as well as the product of 11 and 13.
Thank you,

Part A:
Given that <span>Starlight tree farms sells Douglas Firs and Noble First.
Let </span>n be the number of Noble Fir trees sold, then<span> if they sold 139 more Douglas First than Noble Firs, this means that the number of Douglas First trees sold is n + 139.
Given that the total number of trees sold was 377, then we have, n + n + 139 = 377, which means that 2n + 139 = 377
Therefore, the equation that could be used to solve for n, the number of Noble Fir trees sold is 2n + 139 = 377.
Part B:
</span><span>Given that you are driving 55 miles per hour and you must drive a total of 440 miles. If you already driven 275 miles, then, the equation representing the number of hours, h, it will take to reach your destination is given by 55h + 275 = 440.
Subtracting 275 from both sides of the equation gives:
</span>

<span>
Dividing both sides by 55 gives:
</span>

<span>
Therefore, the time it will take you to reach your destination is 3 hours.</span>
The equation is y=x+2
Use the formula y=Mx+b
