The problem statement gives a relation between the amount removed from one bag and the amount removed from the other. It asks for the amount remaining in each bag. Thus, there are several choices for variables in this problem, some choices resulting in more complicated equations than others.

Let's do it this way: let x represent the amount remaining in bag 1. Then the amount removed from bag 1 is (100-x). The amount remaining in bag 2 is 2x, so the amount removed from that bag is (100-2x). The problem statement tells us the relationship between amounts removed:

... (100 -x) = 3(100 -2x)

... 100 -x -3(100 -2x) = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side

... 5x -200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses and collect terms

... x -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5

... x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 40

  • 40 kg is left in the first bag
  • 80 kg is left in the second bag

_____

<u>Check</u>

The amount removed from the first bag is 60 kg. The amount removed from the second is 20 kg. The amount removed from the first bag is 3 times the amount removed from the second bag, as described.

Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin’s place. Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle’s place. How far does Michelle live from Laura
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

North as the positive y-axis

East as the positive x-axis.

We know that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place.

Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place.

So, if we define the origin, (0, 0) as Laura's place.

From:

"that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place."

We have that the location of Kevin's house is 15 miles west from Laura's place, then Kevin's house is at:

(0, 0) + (-15mi, 0) = (-15mi, 0)

From Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place, we know that Michelle's live 8 miles north of Kevin's place.

Then the location of Michele's house is the location of Kevin's plus (0, 8mi).

Michelle's house is located at:

(-15mi, 0) + (0, 8mi)  =(-15mi, 8mi)

Now we want to find the distance between Michelle's house and Laura's house.

Michelle's house is at (-15mi, 8mi)

Laura's house is at (0mi, 0mi)

Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by:

D = \sqrt{(a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2}

Then the distance between  (-15mi, 8mi) and (0mi, 0mi) is:

D = \sqrt{(-15mi - 0mi)^2 + (8mi - 0mi)^2} = 17mi

The correct option is the first one, 17 miles.
