To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.

Let's denote the number of verses the 7th student wrote as V7. According to the problem, V7 is equal to n + 2(7 - 1), where n is the number of verses the student is supposed to write.

We know that V7 is 20, so we can set up the equation:

n + 2(7 - 1) = 20

Simplifying the equation, we get:

n + 2(6) = 20
n + 12 = 20
n = 20 - 12
n = 8

Therefore:


8

To find the value of 4 ◘ 3, we can substitute x = 4 and y = 3 into the given operation:

x ◘ y = 2x - 3y + 1

Substituting x = 4 and y = 3, we get:

4 ◘ 3 = 2(4) - 3(3) + 1
= 8 - 9 + 1
= -1

Therefore, the value of 4 ◘ 3 is -1.

From the first statement, we know that all members of the chess team are members of the robotics club. 

From the second statement, we know that no members of the basketball team are members of the chess team. 

So, if Sanjit is on the chess team, then he cannot be on the basketball team. 

Therefore, if Sanjit is on the chess team, then he is on the basketball team is FALSE.

To determine the time it will take John to reach the park, we need to divide the distance by his steady speed.

The formula to calculate time is:

Time = Distance / Speed

In this case, the distance is 60 miles and the speed is 30 mph.

Time = 60 miles / 30 mph

To simplify the calculation, we can divide the numerator (60) by the denominator (30).

Time = 2 hours

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can also express the answer in minutes.

However, the question asks for the answer in hours.

The passage focuses on the physical appearance and characteristics of Jim and Liz, and how their personalities and attitudes towards each other are revealed through their observations and interactions. Specifically, paragraphs 2 and 3 highlight Jim's physical characteristics and Liz's admiration for them, and how this admiration is subtly nuanced by Liz's own feelings of attraction. This contrasts with the straightforward description of Jim's appearance in paragraph 1. The juxtaposition of Liz's reactions to Jim's appearance and her own feelings of attraction suggests that there is a deeper connection between them, but the passage doesn't explicitly state this. The correct answer is:

B) Juxtapose two peoples' sentiments

✅

To solve this problem, let's start by using the given information. We know that the length of the garden is four times its width, so we can represent the width as "w" and the length as "4w".

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width. We are given that the perimeter is 60 feet, so we can set up the equation:

60 = 2(4w) + 2w

Next, we can simplify the equation by distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

60 = 8w + 2w

Combine like terms:

60 = 10w

Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for w:

w = 60/10
w = 6

So, the width of the garden is 6 feet.

The correct answer is D) the arrangement of her hair. The passage states that Jim noticed that Liz Coates' hair was "always neat behind", which implies that he has observed her hair arrangement and has taken notice of it.

The author's repetitive use of "She liked it" serves to emphasize the subtle and incremental development of Liz's romantic feelings towards Jim. The phrase becomes a sort of refrain, highlighting the gradual and quiet way in which Liz's appreciation for Jim grows, from his appearance and demeanor to his physical characteristics. This repetition underscores the quiet, unassuming nature of Liz's emotions, which are not explicitly stated but are instead conveyed through her actions and observations.

Let's analyze the given information:

From statement 1, we know that the person in Britain has the broken sword.

From statement 2, we know that the son is not in Denmark, and he doesn't have the gold doubloon or the silver watch.

From statement 3, we know that the person in Egypt has the family tree.

From statement 4, we know that the mother has the silver watch and is not in Mexico.

From statement 5, we know that the grandmother has the gold doubloon and is either in Denmark or Canada.

We also know that the daughter has the oceanic map.

Since the daughter has the oceanic map, let's try to find the location of the daughter.

From statement 1, the person in Britain has the broken sword, which doesn't match the oceanic map.

From statement 4, the mother has the silver watch, which doesn't match the oceanic map.

From statement 5, the grandmother has the gold doubloon, which doesn't match the oceanic map.

The only remaining option is that the daughter is not in Britain, Mexico, or Egypt, and she doesn't have the silver watch or the gold doubloon.

From statement 2, we know that the son is not in Denmark, but it doesn't tell us which country the son is in.

From statement 5, we know that the grandmother is either in Denmark or Canada. If the grandmother is in Canada, then the son must be in Denmark, but we already know that the son is not in Denmark. So, the grandmother must be in Denmark.

Now, let's try to find the location of the daughter.

Since the grandmother is in Denmark, the daughter cannot be in Denmark.

The only remaining countries are Britain, Canada, and Egypt.

From statement 1, the person in Britain has the broken sword. But we know that the daughter has the oceanic map, which doesn't match the broken sword.

From statement 3, the person in Egypt has the family tree. But we know that the daughter has the oceanic map, which doesn't match the family tree.

So, the only remaining country is Canada.

The correct answer is:
Canada

asked if Sofie wanted to borrow hers, which was a bright pink suit that Elena had been saving for a special occasion.

To solve this problem, we need to analyze the possible values of the hundreds' place digit and the ones' place digit.

Let's start by looking at the hundreds' place digit. Since the integer must be greater than 99, the hundreds' place digit can be 1 or greater.

Now, let's consider the possible values of the ones' place digit. Since the integer must have exactly one duplicate digit, the ones' place digit cannot be 0, because that would mean the hundreds' place digit is duplicated, which is not allowed.

If the hundreds' place digit is 9, then the ones' place digit can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. However, the integer 909 does not fit this definition, as the digit 9 is duplicated twice.

If the hundreds' place digit is not 9, then the ones' place digit can be any digit from 0 to 9, except for the value that is the same as the hundreds' place digit.

Now, let's count the possible integers. If the hundreds' place digit is 1, then the ones' place digit can be 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, for a total of 9 possibilities. Similarly, if the hundreds' place digit is 2, then the ones' place digit can be 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, for a total of 9 possibilities. If the hundreds' place digit is 3, then the ones' place digit can be 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, for a total of 9 possibilities. We can continue this analysis for the hundreds' place digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

We will count the possibilities for the hundreds' place digits 1 through 9, and then add up the total.

The total number of integers greater than 99 and less than 200 with exactly one duplicate digit is 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 81

Let's break down the information step by step:

1. The person in Britain has the broken sword.
2. The son, who is not in Denmark, neither has the gold doubloon nor the silver watch
3. The family member in Egypt has the family tree
4. The mother has the silver watch but isn't in Mexico
5. The grandmother has the gold doubloon and is either in Denmark or Canada

From statement 5, we know the grandmother is in Denmark (since that's the only option left). We also know that the grandmother has the gold doubloon. 

Now, let's consider statement 4, which says the mother has the silver watch but isn't in Mexico. This means the mother must be in either Britain, Canada, or Egypt. However, we already know the person in Britain has the broken sword, not the silver watch. 

So, the mother could be in Canada or Egypt. 

Now, let's look at statement 2, which says the son is not in Denmark, doesn't have the gold doubloon, and doesn't have the silver watch. This means the son must be in either Mexico or Britain, since those are the only options left. 

However, we already know the person in Britain has the broken sword, not the silver watch. So, the son must be in Mexico.

Now, let's look at statement 3, which says the family member in Egypt has the family tree. Since the grandmother is in Denmark, she can't have the family tree. So, the family member in Egypt must be the mother. 

Therefore, the Mother is in Egypt.
