5x+2=3x-20-1x
add like terms
5x+2=(3-1)x-20
5x+2=2x-20
subtract 2x from both sdies
5x-2x+2=2x-2x-20
3x+2=0-20
subtract 2 from both sides
3x+2-2=-20-2
3x=-22
divide both sides by 3
x=-22/3 or -7 and 1/3

The ratio of money in Obi's wallet to Rudy's wallet one day was 5:2.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The amount that Obi initially had was £20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount that Obi initially has

y ----> amount that Rudy has

we know that

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{2}

x=2.5y ----> equation A

x-20=y-8

y=x-20+8

y=x-12 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

y=(2.5y)-12

solve for y

2.5y-y=12\\1.5y=12\\y=8

Find the value of x

x=2.5(8)=20

therefore

The amount that Obi initially had was £20

Find the source area of the space figure represented by the net
sergejj [24]

I assume you meant "surface area" :)

Looking at the net, it looks like if you folded it back together it would form to become a triangular prism.

To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you would use the formula: A = bh + 2ls + lb, where b is the base of the triangular faces, h is the height of the prism, l is the length of the prism, and s is the side length of the prism.

I attached a picture to help you see what these labels are.

Looking at the diagram you've provided, we can assume that b = 7 cm, h = 4 cm, l = 8 cm, and s = 5 cm. Substitute these into the formula.

A = bh + 2ls + lb ==> A = (7)(4) + 2(8)(5) + (8)(7)

Multiply from left to right.

28 + 80 + 56

Add.

164

The surface area of this triangular prism is A) 164 cm^2.

Forty-two of the students in band own their instrument.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

112 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of students in the band.

From the question,

We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students

The total number of students can calculated for as follows:

37.5% x T = 42

37.5/100 x T = 42

Cross multiply to express in linear form

37.5 x T = 100 x 42

Divide both side by 37.5

T = (100 x 42) /37.5

T = 112

Therefore, there are 112 students in the band
