(x + 20)/2 = 3x
x + 20 = 2(3x) = 6x
6x - x = 20
5x = 20
x = 20/5 = 4
x = 4
Answer:
a. (15, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with those two equations:
1) a - 1.2b = -3
2) 0.2b + 0.6a = 12
We'll begin by modifying equation #1 to isolate a:
a = -3 + 1.2b
Then we'll use this value for a in the second equation:
0.2b + 0.6 (-3 + 1.2b) = 12
0.2b - 1.8 + 0.72b = 12
0.92b = 13.8
b = 15
Then we'll place that value of b in the first equation to find a:
a - 1.2 (15) = -3
a - 18 = -3
a = 15
F(n) = 5n
You are being told n is the number of tables, and there are 15 tables:
f(15) = 5(15)
F(n) = 75
You need 75 candles.
she went down the slope 10.2 meters, -10.2
then she jumped down to the lake 1.5 meters, -1.5
-10.2 - 1.5 = -11.7 meters.
so she pretty much went 11.7 meters down from her original location.
