−1

Explanation:

Let's say the set of downs starts at the 20 yard line (maybe the kicking team kicked deep, the receiving team took a knee and so play starts at the 20).

Ok - we're at the 20. First down - they advance 5 yards. So we're now at the 25. We can write that mathematically as:

20 + 5= 25

So the second play they get sacked deep and lose 6 yards. So we subtract 6:

25 − 6=19

So what's the change in yardage for the 2 plays? We are on the 19 and started at the 20, so we can write:

19 − 20= −1

and this makes sense because we know we advanced 5 and fell back 6:

+5 −6 = −1

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

19th day

Step-by-step explanation:

So say Lily was 1 when Lily was planted

First day Lily is 2

Second day Lily is 4

Third day Lily is 8

etc...

See the pattern?

The pattern is 2^x

On the 20th day, Lily was 2^20

So when Lily was half, Lily was 2^20 / 2

2^x = 2^20 / 2

2^x = 2^19

On the 19th day, Lily was half.

zimovet [89]
A cross section is a shape formed by cutting an object using a plane. For this case, a cone is sliced parallel to the slant height so the cross section formed would be a plane with a U-like shape. From the image attached, the correct answer is the second option.
