Answer:
To know the distance between the sun and the earth you need isolate d of the equation:
and the additional information needed is the velocity of light and the time elapsed to be in the earth
When given a literal equation, you will often be asked to solve the equation for a given variable. The goal is to isolate that given variable. The process is the same process that you use to solve linear equations; the only difference is that you will be working with a lot more letters, and you may not be able to simplify as much as you can with linear equations.
2: x = -5/3 ; y = -4/3 (-5/3, -4/3)
The thief originally stole 64 plants.
<h3>What is arithmetic?</h3>
In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.
Here,
Let the number of plants originally stolen by the thief be x.
On the way out, the thief meets three security guards, one after another. To each security guard, the thief is forced to give one-half of the plants that he still had, plus 2 more.
Here,
For gourd 1 the planet is given = 1/2 x
For gourd 2 the planet is given = 1/2 * 1/2 x = 1/4 x
For gourd 3 the planet is given = 1/2*1/4 x = 1/8 x
Total plant given to the gourds = 1/2x +1/4x +1/8x + 2 = 7/x/8x +2
Finally, the thief leaves the nursery with 10 plants
x - 7x/8 + 2 = 10
x/8 = 8
x = 64
Thus, the thief stole 64 plants.
