Total of 90 fish:

c + p = 90

Charlie gave 1/4 c to Peter.  Now

Charlie has c - (1/4) c

Peter has p + (1/4) c

Peter gave 2/5 of his to Charlie. Now

Peter has p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

Charlie has c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

And then they had equal number:

c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

Let's do the easy subtractions then multiply by 20 to clear the fractions,

(3/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = 3/5( p + (1/4) c )

15c + 8p + 2c = 12p + 3c

14c = 4p

7c = 2p

c + p = 90

2c + 2p = 180

2c + 7c = 180

9c = 180

c = 20

p = 70

Answer: Charlie started with 20, Peter with 70

Check:

Initially C:20, P:70

1/4(20)=5 to P

C:15, P:75

(2/5) 75 = 30 to C

C:45, P45

Good

Jolene invests her savings in two bank accounts, one paying 6 percent and the other paying 10 percent simple interest per year.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Amount invested at 10% = $47,400

Amount invested at 6% = $94,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Amount invested at 10% = X

Amount invested at 6% = 2X

According to given condition

Interest received at 10% + Interest received at 6% = 10428

X10% + 2X6% = 10428

0.1X + 0.12X = 10428

0.22X = 10428

X = 10428/0.22

X = 47400

So

Amount invested at 10% = X = 47,400

Amount invested at 6% = 2X = 2*47400 = 94,800

<u>Check</u>

47400*10% + 94800*6% = 10428

4740 + 5688 = 10428

10428 = 10428

Tell whether the angles are complementary or supplementary. Then find the value of x.
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

this one is supplementary and x equals 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, complementary angles add up to equal 90 degrees whereas supplementary angles add up to equal 180 degrees.

In this case, since your angles together form a straight line, they're supplementary angles. Now, to solve for x:

(3x + 25) + 2x = 180        (step 1: set the equation equal to 180)

5x + 25 = 180                  (step 2: combine like terms)

    -25       -25                 (step 3: subtrace 25, BS)

5x = 155

5x / 5 = 155 / 5               (step 4: divide by 5, BS to get x by itself)

x = 31
