Answer: The answer is 2275 and 0.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the Capulet and Montague families love to write. Last year, each Capulet wrote 44 essays, each Montague wrote 66 essays and both families wrote 100100 essays in total. This year, each Capulet wrote 88 essays, each Montague wrote 1212 essays, and both families wrote 200200 essays in total. We are to find the number of Capulets members and Montagues members.

Let there are 'x' members in Capulet family and 'y' members in the Montague family. Then, we have

44x+66y=100100,\\\\88x+1212y=200200.

Multiplying first equation by 2 and then subtracting from the second equation, we have

1212y-132y=200200-200200\\\\\Rightarrow 1080y=0\\\\\Rightarrow y=0.

So,

x=\dfrac{100100}{44}=2275.

Thus, there are 2275 Capulets and 0 Montagues.

Alberto and 9 of his friends went out to eat.
1 + 9 = 10

18 × 10 = 180

The total bill was $180.

samantha has 20 marbles paul has m marbles. Of samantha has 6 times as many marbles as paul, write an equation to show how many
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

20 = 6m  or  m = 20/6 = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Samantha has s marbles and Paul has m marbles.

We know that s = 20 and that Samantha has 6 times as many marbles as Paul. This means s = 6m.

Substitute 20 in for s:

20 = 6m

m = 20/6

Thus, the equation is m = 20/6.
