20 shares at 10 1/2 (or 10.5) = 20 * 10.5 = 210
20 shares at 11 1/4 (or 11.25) = 20 * 11.25 = 225
so the profit made would be : 225 - 210 = $ 15 <==
Answer:
Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.
After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.
Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x
Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9
The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9
If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then

Total weight = 50 lb
x = number of 3-lb weights
y = number of 10-lb weights
weight of 3-lb weights = 3x
weight of 10-lb weights = 10y
total weight = 3x + 10y
equation
3x + 10y = 50
A line and a point cannot be collinear.
Submarine: -730
Airplane: 9,144
|-730-9,144|=|-9,874|=9,874
|d|: absolute value
The vertical distance between the submarine and airplane is 9,874 meters.
