Answer:

Kelly will still have more money than Luis

Kelly will have 25% more

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money Kelly has and y, Luis

Luis has $40

and Kelly has 50% more money than Luis

Therefore, Kelly has;

50% of $40 + $40

= 0.5*40 + 40

= $60

If Luis gets $8 more, Luis will have;

$8 + $40 = $48

since Luis' $48 is less than Kelly's $60, Kelly will still have more money than Luis

Difference in their money = $60 - $48 = $12

Therefore, Kelly will have;

12/48 * 100 more than Luis

= 25% more

A 42-inch piece of steel is cut into 3 pieces so that the 2nd piece is twice as long as the 1st piece, and the 3rd piece is 2 in
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

1st piece = Piece A = 5 inches

2nd piece = Piece B = 10 inches

Third Piece = Piece C = 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A 42-inch piece of steel is cut into 3 pieces

Let the lengths be represented as:

1st piece = Piece A

2nd piece = Piece B

Third Piece = Piece C

Hence:

A + B + C = 42

The 2nd piece is twice as long as the 1st piece

B = 2A

The 3rd piece is 2 inches more than 5 times the length of the first piece.

C = 5A + 2

Hence: we substitute

A + B + C = 42 inches

A + 2A + 5A + 2 = 42 inches

8A = 42 - 2

8A = 40 inches

A = 40 inches/8

A = 5 inches

Solving for B

B = 2A

B = 2 × 5 inches

B = 10 inches

Solving for C

C = 5A + 2

C = 5 × 5 + 2

C = 25 + 2

C = 27 inches

Therefore, the lengths of the 3 pieces =

1st piece = Piece A = 5 inches

2nd piece = Piece B = 10 inches

Third Piece = Piece C = 27 inches

Solve the problem 1/4(2x -14)=4
zalisa [80]
1/4(2x - 14) = 4

Divide by 1/4. (dividing by a fraction = multiplying by its reciprocal, so ÷1/4 = ×4)

2x - 14 = 16

Add 14 to each side.

2x = 30

Divide by 2.

x = 15
