Sheryl has a basket of ripe apples and peaches. The number of apples in the basket is 12 more than twice the number of peaches. If there are 36 apples in the basket, there are ? Peaches in the basket.

24 peaches

Step-by-step explanation:

36-12=24

24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 32 34 35 36

0    1    2   3   4   5   6    7   8  9   10  11   12  

subtract 12 from 36 that makes 24 to check that you have to count from 24 to 36 and if you count with your hands then count your fingers and you should have 12 fingers up.

6 (3) - 4 + 32

hope this

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
