Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

to get x alone you need to add 3 to both sides

Maria Louisa looks at a sequence of shapes and records the number of vertices in each of the shapes in the sequence. The first s

seropon [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence.

an = an-1 + c = a1 + (n-1)c

c is in our case 2 (every new shape has 2 more vertices).

we have a a1 = 3.

an = 3 + 2(n-1)

so,

a21 = 3 + 2(20) = 3 + 40 = 43

the 21st shadow will have 43 vertices.

helena needs 3.5 cups of flour per loaf of bread and 2.5 cups of flour per batch of muffins. she also needs 0.75 cup of sugar pe

tatuchka [14]

The correct answer is:

She can make 2 loaves of bread and 4 batches of muffins.

Explanation:

Let b represent bread and m represent muffins.

The equation for the amount of flour she needs is 3.5b+2.5m=17.

The equation for the amount of sugar she needs is 0.75b+0.75m=4.5.

To solve this, we will want to eliminate one of the variables. To do this, we will make the coefficients of one of the variables the same. If we multiply 2.5 by 0.3, we get 0.75; this is what we will do to the first equation:

$\left \{ {{0.3(3.5b+2.5m=17)} \atop {0.75b+0.75m=4.5}} \right. \\ \\\left \{ {{1.05b+0.75m=17} \atop {-(0.75b+0.75m=4.5)}} \right. \\ \\0.3b=0.6 \\ \\\frac{0.3b}{0.3}=\frac{0.6}{0.3} \\ \\b=2$
