For volunteers picked up letter from the park Dominic you collect and 15 for your pieces a litter than Sarah Sarah collect the 12 more pieces in piper piper collected 1/4 as many pieces of litter as Vaughn Vaughn has collected nine more pieces of wood or than everyone else combine the X represent the number of pieces of litter Vaughn Collection

So many confusing details. So, I rephrase the question as:

Four volunteers picked up litters from the park.

Dominic collect 15 pieces less than Sarah. Sarah collects 12 more pieces than Piper. Piper collected 1/4 as many pieces of letter as Vaughn. Vaughn has collected nine more pieces of letter than everyone else combined. Let x represent the number of pieces of litter in Vaughn's Collection. Find x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

From the [rephrased] question, we have:

Substitute in

Make V the subject in

Substitute: , and in

Collect like terms

Substitute in

Substitute in

Substitute , and in

x represents the number collected by Vaughan.

So:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
