The first thing we are going to do for this case is to define the following variable:
x = number of trees.
We then have that the equation that represents the problem is given by:
y = 50 (x-1) + 20
Rewriting:
y = 50x - 50 + 20
y = 50x - 30
Substituting for y = 390 we have:
390 = 50x - 30
We clear x:
x = (390 + 30) / (50)
x = 8.4
nearest whole integer
x = 8
Answer:

Answer:
The value of Mary's investment after two years = £12362.7
Step-by-step explanation:P = Principal / initial amountR = rate of interest per cent per yearT = number of yearsA = final amount at the end of T yearsThen:A = P*(1 + R/100)^2In our example:P = £12000R = 1.5 per cent per yearT = 2 yearsThus:A = 12000*(1 + 1.5/100)^2 = 12000*(1 + 0.015)^2 = 12000*(1.015)^2 = 12000*(1.030225) = 12362.7Value of investment after two years = £12362.7
First, let's find how many page's Greta read per day. She read a total of 900 pages across 15 days, so she read:
900 pages / 15 days = 60 pages/day
Now we can find how many pages she read per hour by dividing the 60 pages per day by 5 hours:
60 / 5 = 12 pages/hour
The answer is 12 pages.
Answer:
234
Step-by-step explanation:
So what we know is that
5x+9x= students
This equation is saying that for every 5 boys there are 9 girls
we can then plug in 364 for the number of students and add like terms
This means that 14x=364
this means that x=26
This means that there are 26 sets of 5 boys and 9 girls
this means that there are
130 boys
234 girls
