Because you added 14 cards to your collection, we'll have to subtract that:
40 - 14 = 26
Knowing that 26 cards is half of your old card deck, we know that your old card deck is:
26*2 = 52
You have option b. 52 cards before.
Answer:
the answer is Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
Point Form:
(−17/2, -7)
Equation Form:x=-17/2 y=-7
Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
Please refer to the attached graph
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing the following:
X = amount of money donated to the city youth fund
Y = amount of money donated to the educational growth foundation
We can write the statements in form of equations:
"Will donate up to $500, the money will be divided between two charities"
(a)
"The amount donated to the educational growth foundation to be at least four times the amount donated to the city youth fund"
(b) 
If we graph both equations we can see the area where both conditions are met (see graph attached)
Where the blue line is (a) and the red line is (b)
Shaded area represent all the possible solutions for the donations, for example:
X=100 and Y=400 or
X=50 and Y=200, etc.
