It will take the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance covered in 4 minutes = 10 cm
Ratio of distance to time = 10:4
New distance = 24cm
Let,
x be the time period
Ratio of new distance to time = 24:x
Using proportions;
Ratio of distance to time :: Ratio of new distance to time
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both sides by 10
It will take the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24cm.

Well using elimination is easy because they basically did it for you.
4x-5y=-6
2x+5y=12
The postive 5y and negative 5y cancel out because -5y plus 5y is zero.
so you are left with
4x=-6
2x=12
Add these together
6x=18
divide both sides by 6 and Solve to find your x
x=3
Now we have to eliminate x to find y.
we multiply the second equation by -2 so it can cancel out so
(2x+5y=12)-2
-4x-10y=24
Add the equations together
4x-5y=-6
-4x-10y=24
You are left with -15y = 30
Solve for y
y = -2
So your final answer for the elimination would be
(3,-2)
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
48-12 = 36
36/2
18
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees-
Let x = "the angle"
supplement angle = 2x + 12 // 12 more than twice the measurement of "the angle"
Supplement angle + "the angle" = 180 degrees
(2x + 12) + x = 180 degrees // 2x + 12 is the supplement angle
3x + 12 = 180 // Simplify
3x = 168 // Subtract 12 from both sides
x = 56 degrees // Divide both sides by 3
The measure of the angle is 56° and its supplement is 124°
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
1.75% of 1,200 = 21
so 1 year= 21
21+21= 42 2 years
42+21=63 3 years
63+21=84 4 years
81+21=105 5 years
105+21=126 6 years
Or you can do
21x6=126 so it has to equal 6 years
