Using a system of equations, it is found that Peter had $48 at first.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Peter's money.
  • Variable y: Henry's money.

The ratio of peters money to henrys money is 4 : 3, hence:

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{3}

After Peter spent $12, they had the same amount, hence:

y = x - 12.

Then, replacing in the ratio:

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{3}

\frac{x}{x - 12} = \frac{4}{3}

4(x - 12) = 3x

x = 48.

2 times 2?5 = 5 so the denominator must have the same done, so 7.5 x 2.5 is 17.5. Subtract 3 from 7.5 and you get 14 .5 . So, m+ 14.5

A drawer contains a dozen each of red,blue,green,ad white socks,all unmatched.Laura takes socks out at random in the dark.How ma
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

40 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 socks in total inside the drawer. 2 pairs of white socks means four white socks. The worst possible scenario (however unlikely it is) is that Laura takes all of the red, blue and green socks before picking any white sock. From that point on, Laura has to pick four more socks in order to have two white pairs. In this scenario, there are 8 socks left in the drawer, all white. Therefore, the minimum number of socks that Laura must take to be sure that she has two pairs of white socks is:

n=(12*4) - 8\\n=40\ socks

She must take at least 40 socks.
