alison, beatrice and chole each had some books. alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had, lastly chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

<h3>What is Working backward?</h3>

Working backward is process in which calculation done in reverse direction.

let alison, beatrice and chole has x,y and z books initially,

alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had
alison, beatrice and chole has (96-2y-2z), (2y) , (2z)
chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

alison, beatrice and chole has 2(96-2y-2z), 2(2y) , (96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)

at the end,
beatrice = 32

4y=32

y = 8

chole =32

96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)=32
z=32

alison = 96-y-z

x=96-8-32
x=56

Thus the required alison, beatrice and chole each of them have at first 56, 8, 32 books.

Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths.  You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:

34^2=16^2+y^2

y^2=34^2-16^2

y^2=1156-256

y^2=900

y=√900

y=30 ft

So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.

Solve the equation 4(3y-1)-3(2y)=6​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4(3y - 1) - 3(2y) = 6

Remove backets

12y - 4 - 6y = 6

Group and Evaluate like terms

12y - 6y = 6 + 4

6y = 10

y = 10 \div 6

y = 1.67

y =  \frac{5}{3}

Convert from scientific notation to standard form 4.83 x 10^-3
ANTONII [103]

4.83 x 10^-3 can be re-written in standard form by moving the decimal point 3 units to the left:   0.00483.

Note:  If you want to be mathematically correct, please write 10^(-3), not 10^-3.  If the exponent is +, you don't need the parentheses.
