Step-by-step explanation:
yes yours answer is correct .
v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
<h3>
<u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica
Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa
Given that,
Together, they have 32 stuffed animals
Therefore,
v + m = 32 --------- eqn 1
Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted animals as her friend Mariposa
Therefore,
Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)
v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2
Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
5 + 2m + m = 32
5 + 3m = 32
3m = 32 - 5
3m = 27
<h3>m = 9</h3>
Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2
v = 5 + 2(9)
v = 5 + 18
<h3>v = 23</h3>
Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
Answer:
6x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
First Integer = n = 45
Second Integer = n+1 = 45 + 1 = 46
And Third Integer = n+ 2 = 45 +2 = 47
Step-by-step explanation:
Let First integer = n
Second Integer = n+1
Third Integer = n+2
According to the question given (If the first of three consecutive integers is subtracted from 138, the result is the sum of the second and third) the equation will be:
138 - n = (n+1) + (n+2)
Solving the equation:
138 - n = n+1+n+2
138 - n = 2n+3
138 - 3 =2n +n
135 = 3n
135/3 = n
=> n= 45
So, First Integer = n = 45
Second Integer = n+1 = 45 + 1 = 46
And Third Integer = n+ 2 = 45 +2 = 47
