If a boy grows 5 inches, he will be one-half as tall as his sister. his sister is 68 inches tall. how tall is the boy?

If the boy grows another 5 inches, he will be 1/2 as tall as his sister. HIs sister is 68 inch tall

Let sister = g, and boy = b

2b + 5 = g

g = 68

Plug in 68 for g

2b + 5 = 68

Isolate the b. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

first, subtract 5 from both sdies

2b + 5 (-5) = 68 (-5)

2b = 68 - 5

2b = 63

Isolate the b. Divide 2 from both sides

2b/2 = 63/2

b = 63/2

b = 31.5

The boy is 31.5 inches tall

hope this helps

just find the gcf and solve the gcf's until you get each answer i have a really good feeling somethings missing xd (like the dimensions of the fence) *cough *cough *hint *hint

step-by-step explanation:

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
