Answer:

<em>Johnny had </em><em>5</em><em> items and Bobby had </em><em>13</em><em> items.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Johnny has x items and Bobby has y items in their list.

Bobby had 3 more than twice as many items on it than Johnny. So,

\Rightarrow y=3+2x  ----------1

Johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby. So,

\Rightarrow y-8=x  -----------2

Putting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1, we get

\Rightarrow y=3+2(y-8)

\Rightarrow y=3+2y-16

\Rightarrow 2y-y=16-3

\Rightarrow y=13

Putting the value of y in equation 2,

\Rightarrow 13-8=x

\Rightarrow x=5

So, Johnny had 5 items and Bobby had 13 items.

Troy cut a 100 foot rope into 3 pieces. The first piece is 43 foot long. The second piece is at least 22 feet long, but no great
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he first piece be x the second be 3x and the very last one be 7x + 2

 

Add all the pieces together and you ought to get the length of the rope which is 46 ft

 

So your equation would be

 

x + 3x + 7x + 2 = 46

 

11x = 44

 

x = 44 / 11

 

x = 4

 

so the 3 pieces are 4 , 12 and 30ft

the volumes of two similar figures are 729 mm and 2744 mm if the surface area of the larger figure is 392 mm what is the surface
Stolb23 [73]
We know that
[volume of larger figure]=[scale]³*[volume of smaller figure]
scale=∛(volume of larger figure/volume of smaller figure)
scale=∛(2744/729)-----> 1.56

[surface area of the larger figure]=scale²*[<span>surface area of the smaller figure]
</span>[surface area of the smaller figure]=[surface area of the larger figure]/scale²
[surface area of the smaller figure]=[392]/1.56²----> 162 mm²

the answer is
the surface area of the smaller figure is 162 mm²
