Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3
So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get one of the answer choices, it appears we need to interpret your input as ...
The value of n is 22.
__
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
6.50 * 22.5 = 146.25 dollars
And because we know that we cut the base of the equilateral triangle in half, we can see that the side opposite the 30° angle (the shortest side) of each of our 30-60-90 triangles is exactly half the length of the hypotenuse.
