Answer: - 42.95 feet
Explanation:
Let each ascent be x. Thus,
2 equal ascents = 2x
From the information given,
initial position = - 64.5 feet
Final position after 2 ascents = - 21.4 feet
This means that
- 64.5 + 2x = - 21.4
2x = - 21.4 + 64.5
2x = 43.1
x = 43.1/2
x = 21.55
Thus, Max's elevation after the first ascent is
- 64.5 + 21.55
= - 42.95 feet
I believe that, if there are three brothers and each invested the same exact money to make a total of $33.00, each brother would have invested $11.
Jonathan's was different, as he invested 2/5. 11 divided by 2 is 5.5, in which 5.5*11 would equal 27.50.
The rest was simply their denominator times $11.
Jared had $33 dollars before the investment, and Justin has $44.
Answer:
The system of equations is given as:
x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1
1.8x + 1.8y = 4.05....Equation 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Kiran says, "I bought 2.5 pounds of red and yellow lentils. Both were $1.80 per pound. I spent a total of $4.05
Let
x represent red lentils
y represent yellow lentils.
x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1
x = 2.5 - y
$1.80 × x + $1.80 × y = $4.05
1.80x + 1.80y = 4.05....Equation 2
The system of equations is given as:
x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1
1.8x + 1.8y = 4.05....Equation 2
