Answer:

48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write a simple equation. Let x = other number, then

5/12 * x = 20

x = 20 / 5/12

x = 20 * 12 / 5

x = 4 * 12 = 48  (answer)

Phoebe, Andy and Polly share £270.
Stella [2.4K]
*Given
Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe,  - <span>£270
</span>    Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total <span>£270. Thus, 
</span>
                  B + A + L  = <span>£270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as
  
                  B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                  A = 2L</span>                           (EQUATION 2)
<span>
4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly, 

                 B = 3A
                 B = 3 x (2L)
                 B = 6L                            </span>(EQUATION 3)<span>

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only. 

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes, 

                  6L + 2L + L = </span><span>£270
</span>                                9L = <span>£270
</span>                                  L = <span>£30

So, Polly has </span><span>£30. 

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively. 
</span>
                  A = 2L                           
                  A = 2(£30)
                  A = £60

Andy has £60

                  B = 6L                         
                  B = 6(£30)
                  B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.

You know that 12x=60, and that x=5. Which property of equality would you use to conclude that 12•5=60?
alexandr402 [8]

ANSWER

The substitution property of equality.

EXPLANATION

We know that:

12x = 60

and that

x = 5

Since x=5 or 5=x , we can substitute x for 5 wherever we see x in the given equation.

When we do that, we obtain;

12 \bullet \: 5 = 60

This is what we refer to as the substitution property of equality.
