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

Mathematics
1 answer:
vichka [17]2 years ago
7 0

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

Solve: 1/5(10x-15) = 1/4(12x-8)
valkas [14]
1/5(10x−15)=1/4(12x−8)

1/5(10x−15)=1/4(12x−8)

Simplify:

(1/5)(10x)+(15)(−15)=(1/4)(12x)+(1/4)(−8)(Distribute)

2x+−3=3x+−2

2x−3=3x−2

Subtract 3x from both sides.

2x−3−3x=3x−2−3x

−x−3=−2

Add 3 to both sides.

−x−3+3=−2+3

−x=1

Divide both sides by -1.

−x/−1 = 1/−1

x=−1

Andru [333]

Answer:

35/72 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle Formula: l*w=Area

Switch the variables with the numbers given:

\frac{5}{9} *\frac{7}{8} =Area

Multiply the top and bottom:

5*7 = 35

9*8 = 72

35/72 = Area
