3 less: -3

difference of 16p and 15p: 16p - 15p = p

is equal to: =

the difference of 3 and 1/2: 3 - 1/2 = 2.5

p - 3 = 2.5

Isolate the p. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 3 to both sides

p - 3 (+3) = 2.5 (+3)

p = 2.5 + 3

p = 5.5

5.5 is your answer for p

hope this helps

A duck's mass at birth was 0.05 kilogram. The duck gained approximately 0.042 kilogram each week. After how many weeks is the du

Alex_Xolod [135]

Given that the first mass of the duck is 0.05 kg and it gains weight at a rate of 0.042 kg/week, the equation that would represent this scenario is,
y = 0.05 + 0.042x
where y is weight and x is the number of weeks. To determine the number of weeks in which the duck's mass becomes 0.890,
0.890 = 0.05 + 0.042x
The value of x from the equation is 20.

Write the perimeter of the floor plan shown as an algebraic expression in x.

Nimfa-mama [501]

The perimeter is the sum of the enclosing side.

From the figure, the perimeter is
P = 11 + (x-2) + (11-3) + [(x-2) - (x-11)] + (x-11)
= 11 + x - 2 + 8 + 9 + x - 11
= 2x + 15

Answer: 2x + 15
