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.

Using the following diagram below, please answer the following:
Colt1911 [192]
The radius of the circle is 15 cm,
The diameter of the circle is 30 cm,
The circumference of the circle is 94.248 cm,
The area of the circle is 706.86 cm^2

The radius is given in the diagram as half the circle, which is 15 cm.

The diameter is double the radius because the diameter measures the circle from edge to edge, so 15•2=30 cm.

The circumference of the circle is 2•3.14•r=C,
2•3.14=6.28, 6.28•15= 94.248 cm.

The area of the circle is 3.14•r^2, so the radius squared is 225 (15•15) and 225•3.14=706.86 cm squared :)

A container has 360 gallons ; daniel took 1/3 of water to give to the animals in the ranch; how many gallons of water are left?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: 240 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the container has 360 gallons and that Daniel took 1/3 of water to give to the animals in the ranch. Therefore, the amount of water that Daniel took will be:

= 1/3 × 360

= 120 gallons

Since we have 360 gallons at the beginning and Daniel has taken 120 gallons, the amount of gallons that'll be left will be:

= 360 - 120

= 240 gallons
