What was the original weight of the ball ?

16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug y=x+10 in for the Y variable you just have to solve by multiplying.

1.) It should look like this:

2x + 3(x +10) = 40

2.) You will distribute the three which will make the equation look like this:

2x + 3x + 30 = 40

3.) Add like terms. Then subtract 30 from both sides. Then divide 5 by both sides to get the variable x alone.

but 16.5 is the answer

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
