The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1
1
cm
Its height after 3
3
years = 10
10
meters 3
3
cm
Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10
meters 6

Its height after x
x
years = 10
10
meters x
x
cm
Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.

Answer:
1)3 2)86
Step-by-step explanation:
3h+77=SA AND 92-2h=MB
3h+77=92-2h
-77. = -77
3h= 15-2h
+2h=+2h
5h=15
H=3
Distribute
10+4x+4+5
Combine like terms
19+4x
Final answer: 4x+19
Answer:
rate of the current = 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
d = rt
Let c = rate of the current
Rate going downstream = c + 40
Time going downstream = 126/(40 + c)
Rate going up stream = 40 - c
Time going upstream = 114/(40 - c)
Since the times are equal, then
126/(40 + c) = 114/(40 - c)
126(40 - c) = 114(40 + c)
5040 - 126c = 4560 + 114c
240c = 480
c = 2 mph
Answer:
m=8
Step-by-step explanation:
-5m=-40
divide both side by -5
-5m=-40
-5=-5 answer is m=8
