Benjamín made 3 times more than Alberto and Carlota 2 times more than Benjamín, so how much is it, help me

Mathematics

vichka [17]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).

without that we cannot calculate the actual values.

all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :

a = amount Alberto made

b = amount Benjamin made

c = amount Carlota made

b = 3×a

c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a

that's it.

your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.

and that is missing.

if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have

a + b + c = x

a + 3a + 6a = x

10a = x

a = x/10

b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :

b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10

c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5

Pls help Im very stuck on this and don’t understand
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C. 85 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up equation

x + 57 + 96 + x = 131

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

2x + 153 = 131

2x = -22

x = -11

Step 3: Find m∠RQU

m∠RQU = 96 + <em>x</em>

m∠RQU = 96 - 11

m∠RQU = 85°

What is the length of the altitude of an equilateral<br> triangle whose side has a length of 8?
Ronch [10]
Using Pythagorean theory the square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the base equals the square of the other side (altitude).

So 8*8=64, 4*4=16, 64–16=48 so the altitude of the triangle is the √48.
