Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I feel like there are many ways to begin this problem, but I'd distribute the 2(x+7) so that you are left with 2x+14. This way you can add 2x and 3x and subtract 14 to the other side.

To answer this question and you will use exponents.

When you fold your paper three times, it is represented as two cubed or 2^3.

When you for your other sheet of paper two times, it is represented as two squared or 2^2.

I need help with 34. Please help if you can. Thank you !

Answer:

7200 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x amount of people tried out.

After round 1: 1/2 x are left.

After round 2: 1/3 (1/2 x) are left

After round 3: 1/4 (1/3(1/2 x))) are left

Each time we multiply by the fraction that are left. By the end we will have

1/6(1/5(1/4(1/3(1/2 x))))

So to find it multiply the denominator out:

\frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{5}*\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{2} x\\\\\\\frac{1}{6*5*4*3*2}x\\\\\frac{1}{720}x

To find x, we set it equal to 10.

\frac{1}{720}x  =10\\x= 10*720\\x=7200

How do scientists know about the ordovician period
Bond [772]

Answer:

The Ordovician was named by the British geologist Charles Lapworth in 1879. He took the name from an ancient Celtic tribe, the Ordovices, renowned for its resistance to Roman domination. For decades, the epochs and series of the Ordovician each had a type location in Britain, where their characteristic faunas could be found, but in recent years, the stratigraphy of the Ordovician has been completely reworked. Graptolites, extinct planktonic organisms, have been and still are used to correlate Ordovician strata.

Step-by-step explanation:
