Answer:

<h2>117 sweets</h2>

Solution,

Given ratio= 4 : 2 : 3

Sarah has 4x sweets.

Natasha has 2x sweets.

Richard has 3x sweets.

Given,

3x + 13 = 4x \\ 3 x - 4 x=  - 13 \\  - x =  - 13 \\ x = 13

Now,

Total sweets:

4x + 2x + 3x \\  = 4 \times 13 + 2  \times 13 \times 3 \times 13 \\  = 52 + 26 + 39 \\  = 117 \: sweets

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment...

Answer:

117 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached picture for full solution. (model method)

S, N and R represents the number of sweets Sarah, Natasha and Richard have respectively.

Alternatively,

Let the number of sweets Sarah have be 4x.

Number of sweets Natasha have= 2x

Number of sweets Richard have= 3x

<em>Sarah gets 13 more sweets than Richard</em>

4x= 3x +13

4x -3x= 13

x= 13

Total number of sweets

= 4x +2x +3x

= 9x <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

= 9(13) <em>(</em><em>subst</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>)</em>

= 117 sweets

Find the length of AB, given that DB is a median of the triangle and AC = 44.
pychu [463]

The length of the AB is 22 units if the length of AC is 44 units and DB is the median of the triangle.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

The triangle can be defined as a three-sided polygon in geometry, and it consists of three vertices and three edges. The sum of all the angles inside the triangle is 180°.

The figure is missing.

The figure is attached to the picture, please refer to the picture.

We have a triangle shown in the picture.

As we know, the median bisects the side length into two equal parts.

AB = AC/2

AC = 44 units

AB = 44/2

AB = 22 units

Thus, the length of the AB is 22 units if the length of AC is 44 units and DB is the median of the triangle.

Two step equations solve for x​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

v=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply both v+9/3 and 8 by 3.

Like this 3 x v+9/3=8 x 3.

Then you will get v+9=24.

After you multiply both sides by 3 you subtract 9 from both sides.

v+9-9=24-9

and you will get v=15.
