Twenty seven is smaller than five times a number increased by seven

27 < 5*X + 7 and 4 < X

Explanation: This is an example of phrased mathematics, let's break it into parts:

"twenty seven is smaller than..."

this is easy, is written as:

27 <

"five times a number increased by seven"

here we have 5 times a number, this means a number X multiplied by 5, and after that we increase that number by 7

5*X + 7

putting all togheter, we have:

27 < 5*X + 7

now we can even solve it for X,

first, subtract 7 in both sides.

27 - 7 < 5*X + 7 - 7

20 < 5*X

now, divide by 5 in both sides:

20/5 = 4 < 5*X/5 = X

then we have that 4 < X

i don't know, but does anyone wanna be friends? i'm doing my homework at 1: 49 in the morning : /

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
