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

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

When a line intersects a circle in exactly one point the line is said to be tangent to the circle

Hence since Line CB touches circle A only at one point (point B), hence CB is a tangent.

Karl is making a pot of chili. The recipe calls for 3/8 cup of chili powder, but Karl only wants to use half as much so it won’t
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the chili powder requirement of the recipe to 1/2

=\frac{3}{8} * \frac{1}{2}\\= \frac{3}{16}

Hence,

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder
