The scores of geography, economics and science are 38, 76, 80 respectively.

Let Yakubu scored x marks in geography.

Given that the score of him in economics is twice of the score of him in geography.

So, his score in economics = 2x

Again it is given that, the score in science is 4 more than the score in economics.

So the score in science = 2x+4

According to question the combined total score is 194. So the suitable equation is,

x+2x+2x+4 = 194

Solving the equation we get,

5x+4 = 194

5x = 194-4

5x = 190

x = 190/5

x = 38

So the score in geography = 38

the score in economics = 2x = 2*38 = 76

the score in science = 2x+4 = 2*38+4 = 76+4 = 80

Hence the scores of geography, economics and science are 38, 76, 80 respectively.

What is the sum or difference?

dlinn [17]

1. Ans: Option (B) $-6x^4$

Explanation:
Given: $2x^4 - 8x^4$
Take the common out:
=> $x^4(2 - 8)$

Hence: => $[tex]-6x^4$ [/tex] (Option B)

2. Ans: Option (D) $-3y^5$

Explanation:
Given: $6y^5 - 9y^5$
Take the common term(s) out:
=> $y^5(6-9)$

Hence: => $-3y^5$ (Option D)

3. Ans: Option (B) $9x^2 - 12x + 6$ <span> quadratic trinomial

Explanation:
</span>Given: $6 - 12x + 13x^2 - 4x^2$

The standard form of polynomial function must have the highest powered value at the start, then the second highest and so on.

=> $13x^2 - 4x^2 - 12x + 6$
=> $9x^2 - 12x + 6$ (Option B)

4. Ans: Option (C) $7.3x^2 + 0.8x + 1.3$

Explanation:
In order to find the total number of C<span>ommon and Endler's guppies, you need to add both Common and Endler's guppies' polynomials, as follows:

</span>Common guppies: $3.1x^2 +6.0x + 0.3$ <span>
Endler's guppies: </span> $4.2x^2 - 5.2x + 1.0$
(add both)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Total number: $7.3x^2 +0.8x + 1.3$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hence the ans is Option(C) $7.3x^2 + 0.8x + 1.3$

5. Ans: Option (D) $2x^2(133 - 18 \pi )$

Explanation:
First let's find the total area of the yard:
Total Area of the Yard = 14x * 19x = $266x^2$

Now the area of the circular fountain:
Area of the Circular Fountain = $\pi r^2$
Since, r=6x
Therefore,
Area of the Circular Fountain = $\pi (6x)^2 = 36 \pi x^2$

Now the final Area of the yard would be:
Final area of the Yard = Total Area of the Yard - Area of the Circular Fountain
Final area of the Yard = $266x^2$ - $36 \pi x^2$
=> Final area of the Yard = $2x^2(133 - 18 \pi)$ (Option D)

6. Ans: Option (A) $56x^2$

Explanation:
First let's find the total area of the lot:
Total Area of the lot= 6x * 10x = $60x^2$

Now the area of the stadium:
Area of the stadium = 1x * 4x = $4x^2$

Now the final Area of the lot would be:
Final area of the lot= Total Area of the lot - Area of the stadium
Final area of the lot= $60x^2$ - $4x^2$
=> Final area of the lot = $56x^2$ (Option A)

The sum of two numbers is 85. twice one number plus four times the other is 218. find the numbers

Nina [5.8K]

X + y = 85
2x + 4y = 218
x = 85 - y
<span>2(85 - y) + 4y = 218 </span>
<span>170 - 2y + 4y = 218 </span>
<span>170 + 2y = 218 </span>
<span>2y = 48 </span>
<span>y = 24 </span>
<span>x = 61</span>

Mr John leased two thousand fifty meter square of land from the city administration. He gave one eighth of his land to his broth

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1793.75 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total amount of land leased = 2050 m²

Fraction of land given to brother = 1/8

Amount of land given to brother :

1/8 * 2050 = 256.25 m²

Amount of land left :

2050 m² - 256.25 m²

= 1793.75 m²

Answer for Brainliest<br><br> 1)7/4+5/8=<br> 2)3/2+4/3=<br> 3)2/3+10/7=<br> 4)4-3/17

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 7/4 + 5/8

= 14/8 + 5/8

= 19/8 or 2 3/8

2) 3/2 + 4/3

= 9/6 + 8/6

= 15/6

= 5/2 or 2 1/2

3) 2/3 + 10/7

= 14/21 + 30/21

= 44/21 or 2 2/21

4) 4 - 3/17

= 68/17 - 3/17

= 65/17 or 3 14/17
