45 would most likely be right
total of ages now is 67 + 4 + 4 = 75
S=shelly
M= Michelle
Michelle is 3 yrs younger than Shelly so use S-3
S +M = 75
replace M with S-3 to get:
S +S-3=75
2S=78
s=39
So shelly is 39
Michelle is 3 years younger = 39-3 = 36
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
What is the value of x in the equation 13 x minus 2 (8 + 5 x) = 12 minus 11 x?
13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
<u>Step 2: Distribute</u>
13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
13x - 16 - 10x = 12 - 11x
<u>Step 3: Solve for x</u>
13x - 16 - 10x + 11x + 16 = 12 - 11x + 11x + 16
14x / 14 = 28 / 14
x = 2
Answer: x = 2
Distance from a point to a line (Coordinate Geometry)
Method 1: When the line is vertical or horizontal
, the distance from a point to a vertical or horizontal line can be found by the simple difference of coordinates
. Finding the distance from a point to a line is easy if the line is vertical or horizontal. We simply find the difference between the appropriate coordinates of the point and the line. In fact, for vertical lines, this is the only way to do it, since the other methods require the slope of the line, which is undefined for evrtical lines.
Method 2: (If you're looking for an equation) Distance = | Px - Lx |
Hope this helps!
Well, seeing as how she mixed the clay, she has a total of 2 2/8 pounds clay (unsimplified). Although we don't know how many students she has in one class, with simple division of this number we can figure out how many student can finish the project. Removing the 2/8, we can already tell 2 students can do it, so that's a start. Now to divide the 2 pounds into 8ths. Each pound is enough for 8 students, so the 2 pounds totals to 16. Now add the extra 2 students, it's 18 total students. Hope I explained it well enough!
