If x is the number we get:-
6x + 5 = 4
Answer:
Stephen has 9 trees
Alice has 21 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>At the beginning:</u>
Stephen = x trees
Alice = x + 12 trees
<u>At the end:</u>
Alice = (x + 12) - 4 trees
Stephen = x + 10 trees
Total = 36
Then
Stephen - 9 trees
Alice - 9 + 12 = 21 trees
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
y^2+8^2=17^2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
y^2+64=289
Step 2: Subtract 64 from both sides.
y^2+64−64=289−64
y^2=225
Step 3: Take square root.
y=15
