Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the first for a, then substitute into the second.
a = 27/(5b^2)
Then ...
(27/(5b^2))^2·b = 135
27^2/(5^2·135) = b^3 = 27/125
b = ∛(27/125) = 3/5
a = 27/(5(3/5)^2) = 15
__
The expression of interest is ...
a +5b = 15 + 5(3/5) = 15 +3
a +5b = 18
Answer:
Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Abel's share = A
Let Cedric's share = C
we are given the following
A + C = 180 - - - - - (1) (Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180)
(Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. )
from equation 2:

putting this value of C in eqn (3) into eqn (1)
A + (2A) = 180
3A = 180
∴ A = 180 ÷ 3 = 60
to find C, let us replace the value of A in eqn (3) with 60
C = 2A - - - - (3)
C = 2 × 60
C = 120
Therefore, Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rental = $40
Catering = $12 per person
Budget = $100
Amount left after paying for the rental
= 100 - 40
= $60
Maximum number of guests
= 60 ÷ 12
= 5
