Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
8
Discussion:
Let the number be "n". Then the question states that
3n - 15 = (n/2) + 5 => multiply both sides by 2
6n - 30 = n + 10 => subtract n from both sides
5n - 30 = 10 => add 30 to both sides
5n = 30 + 10 = 40 => divide both sides by 5
n = 40/5 = 8
Thank you,
MrB
I think the answer is no. I’m not sure. I’m sorry if incorrect
If she is starting on day 1 with 0 followers and advances up 2 followers every day, by day "n" she would have 28 followers.
<span>Let the major axis = 2a , and the minor axis = 2b
∴ a = 26/2 = 13 and b = 24/2 = 12
and the equation of foci:
c² = a² - b²
= 13² - 12² = 169 - 144 = 25
∴ c = √25 = 5
∴ The distance between the foci = 2 * 5 = 10
