Answer:
150 pennies were lost altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies
Mathematically ;
x + y = 350 •••••••(i)
So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.
Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left
So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies
This means that;
x/2 = 2y/3
Cross multiply;
3x = 4y •••••••(ii)
Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;
From i , x = 350-y
Substitute this into equation ii
3(350-y) = 4y
1050-3y = 4y
7y = 1050
y = 1050/7
y = 150
since x = 350-y
x = 350-150 = 200
Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100
Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50
Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150
90 + 3 + 4 = 97
Your answer is 97.
Answer:
1, -6 and -5
Explanation:
To solve the equation means to get the values of n which satisfy the given equation.
The equation given is:
(n-1) (n+6) (n+5) = 0
This equation will be true if any of the terms (brackets) is equal to zero.
This means that:
either n-1 = 0 .............> n = 1
or n + 6 = 0 ................> n = -6
or n + 5 = 0 ................> n = -5
Hope this helps :)
C(s) = 175s + 4500 or y = 175x + 4500
cost of 12 tons of sugar...
C(12) = 175(12) + 4500
C(12) = 2100 + 4500
C(12) = 6600....so 12 tons of sugar will cost u $ 6600
