The no. of Red, Yellow and Purple marbles are 72, 108, 216 respectively.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the no. of red marbles be R

Let the no. of yellow marbles be Y

Let the no. of purple marbles be P

Given that there are 396 marbles in the bag.

Total marbles = R+ Y + P

   396 = R + Y + P

The ratios are given as below:

   R : Y =2/3

Which means,  R/Y = 2/3

       R= 2Y/3

       Y: P = 1/2

Which means, Y/P = 1/2

       1/P = 1/2Y

         P = 2Y

Here we got the values of P and R in terms of Y.

Total marbles = R + Y + P

   396 =( 2Y/3) +Y+(2Y)

Taking LCM, we have 3 as LCM

   396 = (2Y +3Y+ 6Y) / 3

   396 x 3 = 2Y + 3Y + 6Y

   1188 = 11Y

   11Y = 1188

   Y = 1188/11

   Y = 108

R/Y = 2/3

R/108 = 2/3

R = 2(108) /3

R= 72

Y/P = 1/2

108/ P = 1/2

1/P = 1/2(108)

P = 2(108)

P = 216

The no. of Red, Yellow and Purple marbles are 72, 108, 216 respectively.

Find the composition of
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

[(x + 6), (y + 1)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD are,

A → (-5, 2)

B → (-3, 4)

C → (-2, 4)

D → (-1, 2)

By reflecting the given quadrilateral ABCD across x-axis to form the image quadrilateral A'B'C'D',

Rule for the reflection of a point across x-axis is,

(x, y) → (x , -y)

Coordinates of the image point A' will be,

A(-5, 2) → A'(-5, -2)

From the picture attached, point E is obtained by translation of point A'.

Rule for the translation of a point by h units right and k units up,

A'(x+h, y+k) → E(x', y')

By this rule,

A'(-5 + h, -2 + k) → E(1, -1)

By comparing coordinates of A' and E,

-5 + h = 1

h = 6

-2 + k = -1

k = 1

That means

Rule for the translation will be,

[(x + 6), (y + 1)]

Ava borrowed some money from her friend in order to help buy a new video game system. Ava agreed to pay back her friend $2 per w
nydimaria [60]

We know that Ava is paying $2 dollars per week so if L is the money that she owes and t is the number of weeks, and I is the initial debt so we can write an equation like:

L=I-2t

Now we can replace the info we have to find the value of I so:

10=I-2(5)

and we solve for I

\begin{gathered} I=10+10 \\ I=20 \end{gathered}

So the final equation will be:

L=20-2t
