Let b represent blue marbles
g represent green marbles
Then,
We know that there are three times as many blues as green ones, so
b=3g
Next,
the bag contains 280 marbles total, so:
b+g=280 marbles
Substitute b=3g into this equation, to get
3g+g=280 marbles
4g=280 marbles
Divided 4 to each side
4g/4=280/4
g=70 marbles
b=3r
b=3(70)
b=210 marbles
Check:
b=3r
210=3(70)
210=210
b+g=280
210+70=280
280=280. As a result, there area 210 blue marbles. Hope it help!

R/3+2=21 solve for r
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

r=63

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    r/3-(21)=0             r

Simplify   —

           3

r    

 — -  21  = 0

 3     2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

         21     21 • 3

   21 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        3  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

1- find the first term= ?, 90, 540, 3240
Luda [366]

Answer:

1. 15

2. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)

The nth term of a GP is;

Tn = ar^(n-1)

Where;

a = first term

r = common ratio

For the first sequence;

The common ratio r is

r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6

r = 6

T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar

T2 = 90 = ar

Substituting the values of r;

90 = a × 6

a = 90/6

a = 15

First term = 15

2. The sam method applies here.

Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4

r = 4

T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar

T2 = 32 = ar

Substituting the values of r;

32 = a × 4

a = 32/4

a = 8

First term = 8

The location of four buildings on a coordinate grid are as follows:
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

3400 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between building 1 and building 2 = |5+3| = 8

Distance between building 2 and building 3 = |4+5| = 9

Distance between building 3 and building 4 = |-3-5| = 8

Distance between building 4 and building 1 = |4+5| = 9

total distance = 8 x 2 + 9 x 2 = 34

total distance in feet =  34 x 100 = 3400 feet
