The amount received by each of the three brothers from the $24,000 given them based on their sharing ratios is worked out using a system of equations as follows:

X' share = $8,000

Y's share = $4,000

Z's share = $12,000

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two values are equal.

A system of equations uses numbers and variables.

Data and Calculations:

Amount to be shared = $24,000

Sharers = X ,Y and Z

Sharing ratios:

X takes twice as Y = 2y

Y takes 1/3 of Z, Y = y

Z receives 1/3 of Y = 3y

Ratio = 2y + y + 3y

2y + y + 3y = 24,000

6y = 24,000

y = 4,000

X' share = $8,000 (2 x 4,000)

Y's share = $4,000 (4,000)

Z's share = $12,000 (3 x 4,000)

Thus, from the $24,000, X received $8,000, which is twice as much as Y's $4,000, and Y's share is one-third of Z's $12,000.

What are the values of x and y in PQRS? What are PR and SQ?
mamaluj [8]

Step-by-step explanation:

sol;

x+1=y...(1)

3y-7=2x....(2)

or, 3(x+1)-72x [from (1)]

or, 3x+3-7=2x

or, 3x-2x=7-3

     x=4

now,

putting the value of x in (1)

y=x+1

 =4+1

 =5

PR and SQ are the diagonal of PQRS.

How much salt should Ilya add to 810g of water to make 10% solution? How much solution will he make? Ilya should add __g of salt
Burka [1]

Answer:

90 g of water should be added and he will make 900 g of solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x g be the amount of salt Ilya add to 810g of water to make 10% solution. Then 810+x g is the amount of new solution. Thus,

810+x - 100%,

x - 10%.

Mathematically,

\dfrac{810+x}{x}=\dfrac{100}{10},\\ \\10(810+x)=100x,\\ \\8100+10x=100x,\\ \\100x-10x=8100,\\ \\90x=8100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{8100}{90}=90\ g.

So 90 g of water should be added and he will make 810+90=900 g of solution.
