1) let both have x ,
so putting in eqn ;

4x+0.50 = 9x-3
5x=2.50
x=0.50

therefore both have 50 p in the beginning !!

2) let the number be x

so in eqn;

(x+18)/2=5x
x+18=10x
9x=18
x=2

so the number must be 2 !!


if you have still any problem, comment !!

Answer:

Question 1= 70p; Question 2=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1) Since Tom and Ellie have equal amount, let the amount be X (in Penny)

Tom multiplied his amount by 4= 4X, he then adds 50p = 4X + 50

Ellie multiplied hers by 9= 9X, she then subtracts €3, since we are working with Penny, we have to convert €3 to Penny, which is 300p. We have 9X - 300

Since the resulting amounts of Tom and Ellie are equal, we can say

4X + 50 = 9X - 300

We then collect like terms by moving like terms in opposite direction of the equation to have,

9X - 4X = 300 + 50

5X = 350

We divide both sides by the coefficient of X, which is 5

X = 70

Hence, the amount Tom and Ellie started with is 70p.

Question 2) Let the number Alex thinks of be X

He adds 18 = X + 18

He divides the result by 2= X + 18 / 2

Since he would have gotten the same answer if he multiplied X by 5, which is 5X

We can say, X+18/2 = 5X

We then cross multiply, 2 cross multiplies 5X to give 10X while 1 cross multiplies X + 18 to give X+18

We then have, X+18=10X

We collect like terms by moving X to the opposite side of the equation

We then have 18=10X-X

18=9X

Divide both sides by the coefficient of X, which is 9

X=2

Therefore, the number Alex thinks of is 2

Solve for the exact value of x.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

\sqrt{89}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, if you take 8 and square it, you get 64.

You then take 5 and square it giving you 25.

add the 64 and 25 to get you 89 = x squared.

Then take the square roots of x. (Keep in mind, what you do to one side must be done to the other.)

Because 89 is not a perfect square, you can it it as the square root of 89.

during the sale, the price of the bicycle was marked down 24 percent. The sale price of the bike was $364. What was the original
kherson [118]
If the price is marked down 24%, that means it is 100-24 = 76% of the original. So we know that $364 is 76% of the original price. x * 0.76 = 364, x = 364/0.76 = $478.95. Make sense?
