Answer:
A. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle shown is a 90 degree right angle (shown by the box where the vertex is)
We see that the first angle inside the right angle is 50 degrees, so the other angle must be 40 because the degrees must add up. We can set up an equation here.
After dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 8
The share of Natasha is £ 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen
Total amount = 70
Let the share of natasha be "x"
Let the share of richard be "y"
Let the share of stephen be "z"
Natasha gets twice as much as Richard
x = 2y ------ eqn 1
Richard gets three times as much as Stephen
y = 3z
----- eqn 2
Total amount = 70
share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70
x + y + z = 70
Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1
x = 2y = 2(21) = 42
x = 42
Thus natasha gets £ 42
