Let's use "x" as the equal amount of money.

Jane now has 7+x dollars

Her sister had 2+x dollars

Since Jane has twice the amount of her sister's money, her sister's money now becomes 2(2+x), or 2 times 2+x


Now just solve for x.

7+x = 2(2+x)

Distribute the 2 to 2+x

7+x = 4 + 2x

Subtract x from both sides

7 = 4 + x

Subtract 4 from both sides

3 = x

<em>Their parents gave them $3.</em>

If you want to check your work, just plug in 3 as x for their equations.

Jane: 7 + 3 = 10

Jane's sister: 2 + 3 = 5

10 is in fact twice of 5.

Joshua is planning on 1404 miles driving trip his car gets an average of 36 miles per gallon the cost of gas is about $3.72 per
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Hence, his driving cost of the trip= $ 145.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is  given that:

Joshua is planning on 1404 miles driving trip.

His car gets an average of 36 miles per gallon.

i.e. for 36 miles his car uses 1 gallon of gas.

Hence for 1 mile his car uses=1/36 gallon of gas.

Hence, for 1404 miles his car uses=1404/36 gallon of gas

                                                         = 39 gallons.

Cos of 1 gallon of gas= $ 3.72

Cost of 39 gallons of gas=$ (3.72×39)=$ 145.08

which is approximately equal to $ 145.

Hence approximately his driving cost of the trip is $145.

Given the statement, LEI=BNZ and the diagrams shown, determine the value of x.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent, so

∠ N = ∠ E

To calculate ∠ E subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180

∠ E = 180 - (x - 5 + 4x - 10)

     = 180 - (5x - 15)

Equate ∠ N and ∠ E

5x - 5 = 180 - 5x + 15 ( add 5x to both sides )

10x - 5 = 195 ( add 5 to both sides )

10x = 200 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 20
