Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

A^2 = 4 and B^2 = 3. What is C^2 × 15?
adoni [48]

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming A^2 + B^2 = C^2:

C^2 = 4 + 3 = 7

So,

C^2 * 15 = 49(15) = 105

Note: Since the relationship between A, B, and C isn't known, it cannot be said for certain that 105 is the answer.
